currentForm marshalling the way you use it is deprecated. Knowingly 
broken and won't fix. Explanation comes below...

Read the deprecation warning from the kss log in Firebug, and follow it.
If still unclear what to do, please also read point 2.7 in 
http://plone.org/documentation/howto/how-to-setup-and-use-kss-on-plone-3.0

We realized that this approach, besides it is specific to Zope, would 
require lot of code to be feature complete and would never work well. We 
decided to use another approach: to always send the whole form untouched. 
Advantage: all Zope marshalling just works without any extra support from 
javascript. (I remember having a thread on the mailing list as well, but 
not 100% sure.)

Please try the supported way and report if you still have this problem.
