it was actually me who was misunderstanding things! i have misread your question and assumed that you were loading an external page which contained richtext textarea into a dialog... not that i see what exactly you are doing, i have run some tests, and, as you said, in cf9 the textarea does not get the new value... cf8 does not have this problem and works correctly, though...
i will play with it some more and post here.
