Safari bug in FileList?

Question

I seem to have run up against a bug in Safari's FileList but I'd like to see if anyone has any ideas on how to workaround the problem.

The HTML:

<input type="file" multiple="true" onchange="alert(this.files[0].size);" />

When selecting one file, the size is accurate. If two or more files are selected, 0 bytes is reported.

This isn't just a bug in reporting the size of the files, the File objects are empty - when I append a file to a FormData object and post via xhr, there is no data in the upload.

The uploads work fine in Firefox and Chrome.

This appears to be a windows port bug and it affects any attempt to use multiple files, including a basic form submit:
