I was sent a link to this thread on the JOSM dev mailing list:

http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/josm-dev/2011-January/005185.html

The jist is some people are pushing to put URL filtering into JOSM,
currently the discussion is focused on Google images/tiles however it
wouldn't take much of a leap for things to also block Nearmap URLs
since those pushing for this change seem to want to make JOSM
difficult to use for anything but OSM allowed sources.

Thankfully the main author of the software seems to want a more
general editor, not just one that works with OSM specific APIs etc.
