After a small struggle with my budget hosts, they've told me my text was triggering a mod_security2 rule and are willing to disable it for my site (if I assure them I'm on the case re security). As far as I can tell you cannot disable this in .htaccess files.
Thanks SO MUCH for helping me eliminate my code and CakePHP - I couldn't approach my hosts until I was confident that it wasn't my code or CakePHP, and that blaming the Apache config was plausible, which I couldn't have done without the generous assistance of everyone here.
