Ok, the java plugin handles compressed pages badly.
Since RabbIT does not check the Accept-Encoding it sends some
(config?) files to the java plugin. Class files and zip/jars are normally
handled nicely since they have a mime type of application/octet-stream
or something else (!= text/html, text/plain).

I updated the DontFilterFilter to handle user agents also, that is a 
quick fix
9 line patch attached. After the patch has been applied and rabbit has been
recompiled (with "make code")  I added one line: 
"dontFilterAgentsMatching=Java"
to rabbit.conf in the  section [rabbit.filter.DontFilterFilter]. After this
games seems to work for me.

Im not sure which user agent the java plugin uses under windows (the IE 
standard
java/1.1 plugin that is),  Enable the HTTPSnoop filter on httpinfilters 
to check
if "Java" does not work and add to the list (currently case sensitive).
