I have added a new icedtea-web bugreport to track this issue:
http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1016 - IcedTea-web sandboxes all jars in mixed unsigned jars + signed jars applets.

The  plugin + jnlp_href + jnlp support is currently unimplemented/broken.
please feel free to take it up!
It should use the same codepaths as the working javaws implementation.
This would allow a second way to get jogl applets working using icedtea-web.
Start hacking by following the Building IcedTea-Web guide.
http://icedtea.classpath.org/wiki/IcedTea-Web#Building_IcedTea-Web
And try get the http://jogamp.org/deployment/jogamp-current/jogl-applet-version.html and http://jogamp.org/deployment/jogamp-current/jogl-applet-runner-newt-gears-normal.html demos working using the jnlp_href .
