S3 post InvalidPolicyDocument bucket-dependent?

I have direct HTML POSTing to an S3 bucket working for bucket A. If I keep all the code exactly the same but substitute and sign the policy for bucket B, Amazon returns an InvalidPolicyDocument error. Is there something about a bucket that needs to be enabled or set before it will accept posted objects?

Thanks in advance! Ben

ps. I have changed the bucket name both in the policy and in the upload URL.

pps. as requested, I traced both requests in Fiddler. Here are the requests and responses:

If you use one of the "100% compatible" services instead of original S3, check the order of keys in the policy, expiration must be first (as in the docs).

Make sure you change the bucket name in both the action URL and in the policy document.

UPDATE

Here are the Base64 decoded versions of both policies:

GOOD

{
  'conditions': [
    {
      'bucket': '0wdz435hntscj306sxr2-test-bucket'
    },
    ['starts-with', '$key', 'uploads/'],
    ['starts-with', '$Filename', ''],
    {
      'acl': 'private'
    },
    {
      'success_action_status': '201'
    }
  ],
  'expiration': '2009-06-10T18:17:59Z'
}

BAD

{
  'conditions': [
    {
      'bucket': u'0wdz435hntscj306sxr2-m4lbeta'
    },
    ['starts-with', '$key', 'uploads/'],
    ['starts-with', '$Filename', ''],
    {
      'acl': 'private'
    },
    {
      'success_action_status': '201'
    },
    {
      'Content-Type': 'application/octet-stream'
    }
  ],
  'expiration': '2009-06-10T18:09:14Z'
}

Somehow an extra "u" got stuck in the bucket line for the bad policy
