Ok...no sooner did I post than I found the error. It was a CF error message and I can view it in the HTML tab of Firebug, rather than the Console tab.
I had the path where upload_act.cfm was trying to send the files wrong... :oP Sorry if I wasted anyone's time with reviewing all that code! Maybe I can get it working from here.

(It's from Ben Nadel's blog about uploading files with ColdFusion and jQuery AJAX. has anyone successfully run this code on CF 8 as it is? Is it out-of-date for CF 8?) I've got jQuery AJAX working on my forms with no problem, but I just can't seem to get the file uploading to work within an AJAX form. Any suggestions would be most appreciated!
