Rails spinoffs - Sep 2007 - Ajax.Updater isn't posting my form right (prototype > 1.5.0rc0)

I have a form with one text input in it, and an observer on the form
that should send the input to the server and echo it back to the page:
##in view##
new Form.EventObserver(''formtest'', function(element, value) {
  new Ajax.Updater(''result'',
''/test/testing'',
                   {asynchronous:true, evalScripts:true,
parameters:value})})

##in controller Test##
 def testing
   render :text => "#{params[:test]}"
 end

-it doesn''t work with prototype 1.5.1.1 or 1.6.0rc0, tested in FF 2
and IE6.

Looking in the Firebug console, the Post parameter looks like ''test
1''
when using prototype 1.5.0rc0 (which works to update the page), but
the same parameter looks like ''test=1'' when using newer
prototypes.

Looking in the Firebug Script/Watch panel, I can see each of the
Updaters right before they send data to the server (stopping 1.5.0rc0
at line 689 and 1.6.0rc0 at line 1258 and then stepping through each
of them), and I don''t see any difference between them. Is anyone else
able to observe a form? Can anyone explain what''s happening here?
