Alright, I solved this problem, only to come up with many more.

To solve this problem, I needed to point to the loaderInfo object of the
UILoader's content.  So: simulation.content.loaderInfo.actionScriptVersion.

Now the proxy loads correctly, but I start getting errors immediately.  Let me
paste some code to show the next steps:

First off.  I immediately receive a StatusEvent error, though the path gets
sent into the proxy and loads correctly.

Next, when the complete event fires in the AS2 SWF - it sends a completion
back up to let the AS3 SWF know that it finished (and any handling that needs
to happen at that point.)  I receive the following error:
Error #2044: Unhandled AsyncErrorEvent:. text=Error #2095:
flash.net.LocalConnection was unable to invoke callback loadSwf.
error=ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property loadSwf not found on
com.applied.flash.events.AS2Connect and there is no default value.

This is the AS2Proxy.swf code.

var connection:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();

connection.connect("AS3Connect");

if(path){
    proxyLoader.contentPath = path;
}

connection.loadSwf = function( path:String ){
    proxyLoader.contentPath = path;
}

proxyLoader.complete = function(){
    connection.send("AS3Connect","swfLoaded",true);
}

function completion():Void {
    connection.send("AS3Connect","swfLoaded",true);
}

This is the AS2Connect class for hearing what is sent from the AS2 SWF

package com.applied.flash.events {
   
    public class AS2Connect extends Object {
       
        public function swfLoaded( value:Boolean ):void {
            trace(value);
        }
    }
}

Finally, this is all of the related code in the AS3 swf

var connection:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
var myIP:String = connection.domain;
connection.client = new AS2Connect();
try{
    connection.connect("AS3Connect");
}catch(e){ }

simulation.source = ModulePath+curPageXML.attribute("Path").toString();
contentPlayers.addChild(simulation);
simulation.addEventListener(Event.INIT,doInitSim);

function doInitSim(evt:Event):void {
    if(simulation.content.loaderInfo.actionScriptVersion > 2){
        simulation.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,doVideoReady);
    }else if(simulation.source != InterfacePath+"AS2Proxy.swf"){
        simulation.source = InterfacePath+"AS2Proxy.swf";
        simulation.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,doProxyReady);
    }
}

function doProxyReady(evt:Event):void {
    connection.send("AS3Connect","loadSwf",
ModulePath+loadedXML.Pages.Page[tree.selectedIndex].attribute("Path").toString()
);
    connection.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS,doStatus);
}

function doStatus(evt:*){
trace(e);
}
