The issue is that the implementation in swf was written to compile the return data as a Flash swf binary file. The implementation for DHTML uses a JSON encoding. The fix for this would need to be to switch to using the JSON encoding with the swf runtime. We do have a JSON parser for SWF7/8, it would be somewhat slower than the direct-to-swf transport being used now, but that might be acceptable if the amount of data you are sending in each request is not very large.
