Rails - May 2011 - Form submission should return javascript but returns "406 Not Acceptable"

I have a form that submits fine and is processed by the controller but
began failing to return Javascript (around the time I upgraded to 3.0.7)
and instead generates a "406 Not Acceptable."

I''ve tried everything I can think of to get this working again, and
I''m
completely baffled.

I''ve stripped the problem down to the following:

config/routes:
  match ''my_words/test_create(.:format)'' =>
''my_words#test_create''

whatever.html.erb:
  <%= form_tag(url_for("/my_words/test_create.js"), :format =>
:js,
"data-type" => "script", :remote => true) do %>
    <%= submit_tag "Test JS" %>
  <% end %>

app/controllers/my_words_controller.rb:
  # I don''t think this is necessary, but I''m trying to isolate
the
problem
  authenticate_user! :except => [:test_create]
  ...
  def test_create
    respond_to do |format|
      format.js { render :js => "alert(''This much
works'');" }
    end
  end

From development.log:

Started POST "/my_words/test_create.js" for 127.0.0.1 at Fri May 13
12:13:01 -0400 2011
  Processing by MyWordsController#test_create as JS
  Parameters: {"utf8"=>"✓",
"authenticity_token"=>"xxxxxxx"}
Completed 406 Not Acceptable in 2ms

The first line in app/controllers/my_words_controller.rb is actually:
  before_filter :authenticate_user!, :except => [:test_create]

(I should have copied-and-pasted.)

I used my Git time machine to revert to my last known good state.

I updated to the latest rails.js and everything still worked.

I then updated to JQuery 1.6.1 and everything broke.

I backed up to JQuery 1.5.2 and some (but not all) things were broken.

I backed up to JQuery 1.4.4 and things worked again.

I updated from Rails 3.0.5 to 3.0.7 and things still apparently work.

So it''s looking like a JQuery problem.

Anyone else hit this problem?

In case anyone else experiences my problem...

My "JQuery 1.5.2" problem was actually caused by the latest versions
of
HAML and Kaminari not playing well together. So my Ajax form submission 
troubles may all be caused by JQuery 1.6.1.
