Solved it: Even though the original .change handler terminates with return false; The thread created for the AJAX call, does some UI work depending on the server response. If that work involves displaying some UI that requires user input, then this function must also terminate the Ajax thread with a return false; else this new input is interpreted by the browser and the input FORM that kicked off the .change handler is reset.
