Cordova 2.8.1: camera.getPicture with photolibarary source on ios

Using cordova 2.8.1 I am trying to do a camera.getPicture with photolibrary. It seems to be working for android but not for iOS. below is how I call the getPicture code. On an iPhone 4s with iOS 6 it allows me to select an image, but as soon as thats done the error callback is called with the argument being null

var options = {
          quality : 30,
          destinationType : Camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
          sourceType : Camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY,
          correctOrientation: true,
          targetWidth: 800,
          targetHeight: 800
    };

navigator.camera.getPicture(this.captureSuccessPre, this.captureError, options);

I was told to add a timeout around the console.logs. On phonegaps documentation it states to do so around alerts. Below is my error callback. which logs [error null]

captureError: function(error){
    setTimeout(function(){
        console.log("error " + error); //logs error null
    }, 100);
}

Anyone have any ideas. I have been struggling for a few days. If it helps any this code works perfect with 

sourceType : Camera.PictureSourceType.CAMERA,

Looks like there was a bug in 2.8.0 - if you upgrade to 2.9.0 it fixes it ([CB-3757] camera.getPicture from photolib fails on iOS - https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap/blob/2.9.0/changelog)

I have exactly the same problem; seems to be related to the DestinationType.FILE_URI.

Try this:

var options = {
      quality : 30,
      destinationType: navigator.camera.DestinationType.NATIVE_URI,
      sourceType : Camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY,
      correctOrientation: true,
      targetWidth: 800,
      targetHeight: 800
};
