[mapguide-users] MG 2.0 RC4 selection ALMOST working

The exception is corrupting the json formatted response so when  
Query.php returns there is a (likely suppressed) javascript error that  
prevents Fusion from processing the selection and hence other widgets  
from responding to it to load the selection.

Mike, we should be able to reproduce this with some of Jason's data.

Cheers

Paul
