Arne, I agree with Dan that this sounds like a config issue. I have never seen the file uploads open a new tab like you describe and if you figure out why it's happening please send me a note about your findings.
Just to clarify the IFrame upload logic; it is synchronous. The logic simply changes the target attribute of the form and then invokes the form's submit method which is a blocking call. The target is set to a hidden IFrame which is where the server response is written. I do use a short setTimeout before the submit so that any UI changes (like a Please Wait message) can be rendered. Also, all the expected AJAX callbacks are invoked, but these are synthetic and use a mock XHR object. Ultimately, when form.submit() is called you'll be waiting for that operation to complete.
