Comment (by DavidAnderson):

 @ericlewis: yes. The change in flow is very significant. Previously, for
 example (with the "update now" hrefs) I used to block the default event on
 the links that were clicked, start a backup (over AJAX) and then set
 window.location to that href once the backup was completed. With shiny
 updates that technique is now irrelevant (since they also block the
 default event, and do their own stuff).

 I'm working on it now and it's very much more complex than envisaged to
 get working again with a boolean lock (to deal with all the possible
 interactions of page elements).
