What do the params look like ? What does your form look like ?

with form_for :

Parameters: {"company"=>{"new_notification_attributes"=>[{"label"=>"", "email"=>""}, {"label"=>"", "email"=>""}], "existing_notification_attributes"=>{"3"=>{"label"=>"test", "email"=>"test@test.com"}}}

with form_remote_for :

Parameters: {"company"=>{"new_notification_attributes"=>[{"label"=>""}, { "email"=>""}, {"label"=>""}, {"email"=>""}], "existing_notification_attributes"=>{"3"=>{"label"=>"test", "email"=>"test@test.com"}}}

with form_for :

Parameters: {"company"=>{"new_notification_attributes"=>[{"label"=>"", "email"=>""}, {"label"=>"", "email"=>""}], "existing_notification_attributes"=>{"3"=>{"label"=>"test", "email"=>"t...@test.com"}}}

Have you had a look at the actual body of the post (ie before rails tries to parse it)? at a guess it looks like prototype may be serializing the form in an unexpected way. Can you reduce this to a minimal test case ?
