jrutter, I am having a similar issue with the Yahoo music api. In my case jQuery is replacing the url: http://us.music.yahooapis.com/artist/v1/list/published/popular?response=main&appid=myappid&format=json&callback=? with http://us.music.yahooapis.com/artist/v1/list/published/popular?response=main&appid=myappid&format=json&callback=jsonp1230228631768&_=1230228631798
As you can see jquery replaced the last ? with jsonp1230228631768 (ok), but it also adds &_=1230228631798 (not ok) to the end. This last part is what Yahoo is flagging as a bad parameter. Some services, such as Flickr, simply ignore that last parameter. You may want to check if that is the same issue you are having, but unfortunately I don't know how to fix it...
