Malcolm, Thanks so much for your suggestion. With that knowledge I found the problem in 10 minutes. The culprit turns out to be the YUI Connection Manager. As it turns out, when handling a file upload they change the location of the returned data. My response gets placed in a totally different child element when there is a file field, and yet the "normal" location contains an escaped version of the response.
FWIW, the normal location for the view response data is o.responseText. With a file upload, the location is o.responseXML.body.textContent. Thanks again.
