For the record, this is not the way to endear yourself to me.

                ^^ Same problem.
autoSize is a *property*, not a function. Properties are set as the
panMapIfOutOfView option is set. Because your 'size' was null, it was
being set to a reasonable default in the browser, but the OL JavaScript
didn't know what was going on.

Put 'popup.autoSize' before setContentHTML, and it all works.
