The bug with layout does not  happen when debug=true, can you think of any
thing  off the top of your head in that change that might
be dependent on the debug flag?

I'm going to try to get a minimal test case for the radiobutton drawing bug,
and then compare the
debug and non-debug js output code, maybe something obvious will be
different...
