Why not use Google Gears.
Gears doesn't use 'broken' headers like flash does, but allows for multi uploads!
I've got a working example, email me if you'd like to have it. Working on a jQuery plugin as well, but that one isn't finished yet ;-)
Good choice... Uploadify just isn't flexible enough for most coders. But you're right that Google Gears requires users to install another plugin, but it gives lots of features flash just doesn't implement. For instance, Gears isn't bound to PHP's default upload limit per file, and it's possible to make pausable and resumable uploads over multiple browser sessions...
What's you're e-mail address, so I can e-mail you the code I'm working on.. It isn't so advanced, but makes it a lot easier to understand it's basic logic...
The install requirement is a show-stopper for this app but when I build something more advanced for a targeted audience I'll come back to your google code page. Thanks!

Interesting, but won't it installation of the Google Gears plugin for the client?
By the way, I've given up on uploadify and gone for swfupload now instead which works much better.

take a look at http://uploadmovietool.appspot.com/ for a great example!
