See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-622 (especially Brion's comment)

For the mean time I've made it at least show some sense of progress for every upload other than the first:
https://github.com/wikimedia/WLMMobile/pull/17

I'll see if I can retrofit a progress callback into FileTransfer; there's general consensus on the Cordova lists that supporting XHR2 in the future is the way to go, but for the meantime (especially for binary files) we're stuck with FileTransfer's more limited interface.

Currently merged with a few patches on top of 1.8.1. Works!
