Comment:

 Welp, Adobe went ahead and released Flash 10 without fixing this issue, so
 now everybody gets to deal with it.

 SWFUpload 2.2 alpha has a method of working around it, where they create
 an image based button. Sucks, but there you go.

 The YUI Uploader has been updated and works in one of two ways, where it
 can either do the image thing, or render a transparent Flash button on top
 of your button element, allowing the click through to actually work.

 We might want to consider switching to YUI Uploader to deal with this.
