Hmmm, I may have spoken too soon about seeing the page's refresh status following the click.
It appears that my page does many refreshes / loads that report themselves as done during the processing, so watir cuts out after the first done is complete. I may just very well be stuck hardcoding a wait time........ Yuck code, but I can't see any other way.
