OK, I just wanted to make sure. As I said before, this version works
"out of the box" for me on my Sid/amd64 system. Unfortunately, this also
means that I don't know too much about the details of the
plugin-wrapping mechanism.

Maybe the viewer cannot be executed because you are missing some
component of X (or some other library) which is assumed to be present
and therefore not specified as an explicit dependency. Do you run an
unusually minimalistic Xorg install?
Looking at the post-installation script, it seems that things go wrong
at the very last step, which is:
nspluginwrapper -n -i /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
According to the manpage, this is meant to install the wrapper for
libflashplayer.so into the mozilla plugins directory. It also seems to
test if the viewer itself is executable and that is not the case on your
system.
I would first run these commands:
ldd /usr/bin/nspluginwrapper
ldd /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
ldd /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer.bin
Maybe that will turn up a missing library.
Also, just to be sure, check if your running kernel supports 32-bit ELF
executables:
$ egrep 'ELF|IA32' /boot/config-$(uname -r)
CONFIG_ELF_CORE=y
CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF=y
CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION=y
CONFIG_IA32_AOUT=y
Finally, you could try to run
nspluginwrapper -v -n -i /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so
and hope that the verbose mode provides additional clues.
