Update: after futile attempts to find the solution, I ultimately ended up hacking the dragdrop.js library to work in a parented window environment. I can say conclusively that my goal of having draggables in an iframe scroll the iframe's parent window was not possible using the class as written.
It would be great if the scriptaculous wizards could do a proper job of this and provide a third type of scroll support--dom obj, window, and parent--that works in all browsers. (I am lucky enough to be able to ignore IE, so my webkit-only hack works for now.) Thanks to anyone who scratched their heads on this one.
