I do understand what you mean John, and when you just want a quick fix these responses do seem unhelpful. But what you do need to know is that the majority of old gits on this list have been there, done that and learnt by their mistakes and are not in the habit of "quick and dirty" fixes and will thus almost always suggest the best long term term solution. I think you will also find that any of the CF UI tags are universally hated here, most folks have ripped their hair out trying to get them working at some point and then given up, thus the negative responses.
In answer to your specific issue. If you check your CFAdmin, on the settings page, there is a setting for *Maximum Output Buffer size*. I believe the default is 1024 KB. If your page is bigger than this, then CF may be flushing the buffer before your closing CFHTMLHEAD tag runs. You could try increasing the buffer size.
