I think it may be a compatibility issue between the Minecraft applet and Apple's Java 6. I can confirm this too. This also doesn't happen on any of the Windows computers I have tested. It seems to be an Apple only bug.
You have a modded minecraft. Can anyone else with this issue please force a crash by pressing F3 + C for 10 seconds while ingame and attach the crash report here.
I don't know if this could help, but I found a mod that solves this problem specifically, including all of the problems detailed here. (Chest, hand and mobs lighting glitches). http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1547522-162-164-minecraftlfm-fixes-colored-signs-entity-rendering-and-much-more-4000-downloads/
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.7.4 / Launcher version 1.3.8 or later? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
Confirmed.
