I posted too soon, and I'll answer my own question here.
The formatting that the Autocompleter class is looking for is very
specific here. I was returning a result set wrapped in <div></div>
elements, which scriptaculous is not found of.
It is currently only working if you wrap your result set in an
unordered list to display it.
