The HTML 4 spec, which I only glanced at:
  <http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/objects.html#h-13.3.2>

says the PARAM tag is an empty tag, so try this representation:
  <PARAM NAME="progressbar" VALUE="true" />

Note the / before the >.  I'm just wildly guessing though.

Other guesses include the possibility that Safari only partly complies with
HTML 4, or there's a bug in the code that handles OBJECT vs. the code that
handles APPLET tags.

If the PARAM tags are the only difference, you should be able to create a
simple fail-case that passes one PARAM to a simple applet that displays its
value, and submit that in a bug-report to Apple.
