To answer my own question - form submission with an
encoding of multipart/form-data is only broken on Win2K if you're
getting the form data using [ns_getform] and/or [ns_queryget]
(which is what [ad_page_contract] does).
[ns_get_multipart_formdata] works fine since all the file
handling is done in C instead of TCL. So, as long as you're only
uploading one file per form, and you're willing to do without
[ad_page_contract] on file upload pages, it seems to work OK.

This is a really annoying excersise. The customer in question
runs their main applications on HP/UX, and does all their
databasing on Oracle. Politically it's difficult to impossible to get
space on one of the HP/UX boxes or use the Oracle DB untill the
application is proven usefull, so our contact wants to just chuck
another 2K box on the network and avoid dealing with corporate
IT. So we get this bogus crippled platform to work with, and if we
can make it look good enough under those circumstances then
we can shift to a real platform later. Such is the joy of dealing
with "Enterprise IT". Gak.
