Yes, I've tried debugging on the JS side of things, exactly as you mentioned (See my email in this thread from Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 12:45 PM). Nothing. I simply can't find the object. I used a javascript object dump function, to 'scan' the objects I could think of, looking for an occurrence of this object that we need for FABridge to work, but its tucked away somewhere, in a place which is non-trivial to locate.
