Just to check, have you hard-reloaded the uploader iframe so as to
lose the cached JavaScript?  'Cause that really sounds like the post
page uploader has just cached the old JavaScript (it holds onto it
with grim determination).

Do you see any message at all, such as "You are using the Flash
uploader"? Or is it just blank followed by an "— OR —"?

If you use Firebug, can you inspect the blank region and see if <div
id="flash-upload-ui"> exists and contains an object element?

Well, it's not that simple.  The problem is that Flash itself is
different for different systems, and the interface between Flash and
JavaScript is erratic, so things don't always happen as expected.

Thanks for your help debugging!
