Comment (by thebrandonallen):

 Finally had some time to dig into this. While [29729] does fix the "A
 problem occurred with this webpage so it was reloaded," that @stephdau,
 his testing helpers, and myself have seen, I'm not sure it's necessary.

 I started by testing the iOS 8 simulator in the most recent Xcode beta,
 and there are absolutely no issues. Whether I'm on pre-[29729] trunk, or
 post. All photos and videos upload, and even multi-upload works without a
 hitch. So, obviously, it's not something I could debug in that manner.

 After a further debugging, I had a hunch that something was wonky the POST
 request. From there I decided to route my hardware iOS 8 through Charles
 proxy to try and get some more data. Sure enough, a POST request is made
 to the server, but it's more or less empty. The server is supplied with a
 filename, and a content-type, but the file data isn't actually sent. This
 would explain the timeouts, as the server is waiting around for a file
 that never arrives, and eventually gives up.

 Just to make sure it wasn't an issue specific to WP, I created a generic
 form, and was able to reproduce the issue there as well.

 I've filed a bug report with Apple detailing the issue, and I'll keep this
 ticket up-to-date with anything I hear concerning the issue.
 Unfortunately, that leaves in wait-and-see mode, crossing our fingers that
 something changes by Wednesday.
