In the little summary extract which Google displays about pages from a site I administer, there's frequently a Flash error message:

Page Title

www.example.com/.../Slug_of_the_page
Flex Error #1001: Digest mismatch with RSL http://www.example.com/framework_3.2.0.3958.swf. Redeploy the matching RSL or relink your application with the ...

I know people will want to tell me what the error message means and how to recompile, but there are plenty of instructions about that elsewhere, and that's not my question.

I see this happening in search summaries for pages on this site which I think don't have any Flash objects in them - and certainly Firebug's Net tab doesn't show any. Google's cached version of the page doesn't include the error messages in the HTML or text-only versions.

Trying things at random and waiting for Google to re-index is clearly not a sane strategy. Does anyone know a tool which reproduces as closely as possible Google's web page to text converter, or which in some way would allow me to reproduce the error message locally so that I can debug and test that I've fixed it?
