You were, of course, right! :)
I should have posted a follow up to this, there's no bug here, just a really
really big gotcha
In order to provide a url with params to <cffileupload> you need to
urlencode the whole url string (or at least the whole query string)
<cffileupload url="#urlencodedformat("upload.cfm?upload=true&foo=bar")#">
The url that's provided is passed as part of the flashvars string to the swf
file, which is itself a key/value pair string encoded using &/=, so just
using & isn't enough. Props to Dan Vega for helping me with this one.
So no bug, but a behaviour that needs documenting in big bold letters on the
cffileupload docs page
