FWIW, I ran in to this problem as well (at least the described error response) when I tried uploading files using apache http client. text/plain files would work no problem, but same code (with appropriate change in content type) would fail cxf-side when sending an image.
I upgraded cxf from 2.2.5 to 2.3.1, did not help. I looked at the wire, and saw that in the case of the binary file, the boundary marker was indeed messed up. Upgraded from httpclient 3.1 to 4.0 (and to http core 4.1) and the problem went away. It may have been that I was doing something wrong client side (I was following some basic example I found on the web), but the basic example I found for 4.0 worked no problem. just FYI.
