what's the status on this bug? Is it something that's ever going to be fixed? I try to stay away from Ajax forms with multiple buttons because of this.

With normal forms, if you give the submit button a different name attribute, the submitted parameters will contain an entry for it.
<%= submit_tag 'Preview', :name=>'preview' %>
params['preview'] is then defined on submission, and you can use that to figure out which button was pressed. No idea if this works for AJAX forms, but it seems like it should.
