...STDERR refused to be unbuffered

Well, you might be unbuffering your perl code, but Apache could still be buffering the output before it writes it to the error log...

I can't imagine how one is supposed to determine that (how did you?), given that the docs certainly don't say anything about it.

If I can't get something to work according to the docs, then I assume the docs are lying and check the source. Mind you the source of CGI.pm is not for the faint of heart ;). I meant to send in a doc patch to clarify this stuff, but never got around to it. If you can find the time, I am sure Lincoln would appreciate it.

The upload hook seems to be one of those cool things that no one really uses. I guess that is why there is such a lack of info on the subject...

Yeah, it seems unusually unknown/unused. With all the hype surrounding AJAX and Ruby on Rails, I've come across this implementation a couple times, and it seems like a fancy newfangled thing... but I see it's been possible for quite some time in Perl.
