Ended up doing this:

    def show(xhtml: NodeSeq) : NodeSeq = {
        if(S.post_?) {
            val f : Option[FileParamHolder] = S.request match {
                case Empty => Empty
                case Full(req) =>
                    req.uploadedFiles.find(_.name == "file_upload")
            }

            if(f.isDefined) {
                acceptFile(f.get)
            }
        }
        return xhtml
    }

And putting a bare upload field in the snippet, like you sugested. I
still wonder if the binding method is the best place for this, though.
