Not a full solution, but just a data point (because encoding issues suck). When I downloaded your XML via the static file and PHP file and diffed them, I got the following results

% diff php.xml static.xml
1c1
< <?xml version="1.0"?>
---
> <?xml version="1.0"?>
10a11

Your static file has an extra "non-ASCII" character at the start of it.

My guess is your static XML file has a UTF-8 BOM that PHP generated file doesn't, and that your flash movie is expecting a UTF-8 file. I'd try generating a BOM with your PHP XML file and seeing it it helps, or fiddling with your server's encoding settings.

Try changing you PHP so it outputs the following header (matching the web page the movie is embedded in).

header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8')
