Strange, same setup, I am using MacTeX 2008 which includes Beamer 
3.07. It is 2 against 1 at the moment. Are you sure that you are 
using SyncTeX? Do you have the .SyncTex.gz auxiliary file generated 
when you typeset? Correct settings in Preferences -> Misc -> SyncTex? 
Are you testing Priview to source sync? Maybe we need more people to 
try.
