The culprit is definitely ObjectSupportLib. The easiest fix is simply to
re-run the NetScape 2.0.2 installer, and do a custom install, installing
only 'Object Support for Power Macintosh'. This should install the correct
version (which has a release date of 1st January 1996) and the odd problems
- can't switch between windows by clicking on them, can't use window menu,
'New Web Browser' creates two new windows, password authentication doesn't
work, etc. - should go away. (That's probably also why an Atlas install
seemed to fix things, as reported by Ethan - Atlas also installs
ObjectSupportLib).

MacPerl's installer seems to be smart enough not to overwrite newer
software versions, so subsequent MacPerl installations probably won't mess
things up again.
