Need some help with the antispam "Post Message" button

A while back, I built an inline "Quick Reply" form for the Reaching Perfection forums.

The Quick Reply system broke when the antispam button was implemented, because it didn't use the antispam button macro. I've updated it to use that macro for its submit button, but am still receiving intermittent "Submit failed" errors (redirecting to the main Reply form, which then works) when using Quick Reply. Other users are reporting the same.

It happens seemingly at random on Reaching Perfection and Testing Perfection. It doesn't seem to matter if the app is being used standalone or embedded (RP only allows embedding; TP doesn't force redirection, lest I "lose" the app again).

It seems like there's still some problem with how Quick Reply invokes the antispam button. It could also be an issue with the button itself (I've asked a user to keep an eye out for "Submit failed" messages seen when using the normal Reply page), but I've not heard anything to suggest that specific problem. However, QR is sending all the needed fields for replying, and is using the antispam button now, so I have no idea why it's still experiencing occasional errors. I'm hoping you might be able to help me fix this up.

If you wish to test and see this bug for yourself, feel free to toss some throwaway posts into a Testing Perfection test thread. It will likely take several tries to see the error.
