An additional confirmation that the issue is due to + characters in form
boundary strings:

1:  google for WebKitFormBoundary. In every case I have examined (of, there are
thousands) where it appears as unintended user input, it contains at least one
+ character. 

(Note that google hits where people *intentionally* refer to
WebKitFormBoundary, i.e. "What the #$@! is this WebKitFormBoundary in my
post?!?" don't necessarily contain +.  People don't always quote the random
trailing characters, referring to them as "garbage" or "gibberish", and
assuming they are incidental or accidental and that "WebKitFormBoundary" is the
problem - when actually it is the *intentionally random characters* which
contain the problem, the +  character).

2: Firefox (along with Explorer) are reported not to trigger the issue.
Examining Firefox's source, its boundary strings are created using dashes and
digits only.
