quicksave and sent_confirmation incompatible?

Hello all,
during Easter we just updated our Debian and SM installation (details
further below), and for the first time afterwards also installed the
quicksave plugin, which we now find one of the most useful SM extensions
(and which we weren't aware of before at all, to be honest). Furthermore,
we had installed the sent_confirmation plugin already for years without
any problems in daily usage.
The thing now is, that neither quicksave nor sent_confirmation appear to
work correctly if at the same time both plugins are installed (and
activated). After I had sent the very first mail under this configuration,
no sent confirmation came up, but just a sort of empty window instead (not
really empty, but just with the typical SM links - "Compose, Addresses,
Folders [...]" etc. - at the top and nothing else below).
Furthermore and much more important, from this point on I couldn't create
a new mail or reply to an existing one at all anymore. Either the same
"empty" window came up, or SM forced me to do a new login - I was in a
sort of infinite loop and somewhat stuck.
It should be noted that I have the option "Compose Messages in New Window"
activated. After I deactivated this option, I was able to create a new
mail or reply to an existing one again, but after sending it, SM often
couldn't display the INBOX (or any other mail folder) anymore and was just
displaying the same "empty" window in the right frame (with it's typical
links at the top). From time to time SM couldn't even access the mail
folders at all anymore (red warning message in the right frame, new login
required). This is all somewhat difficult to describe, as being pretty
inconsistent and happening "out of the blue".
Then we deactivated sent_confirmation and (almost) everything worked fine
with quicksave (except that quicksave sometimes "complained" about an
unsent message, although the message had indeed been sent, but that's a
different issue which we may discuss later on). Then we tried the opposite
(deactivated quicksave and activated sent_confirmation) and everything
worked fine as all the years before (but without the quicksave facility
unfortunately).
Also changing the order of these two plugins doesn't make any difference.
At a certain scenario (sorry, can't remember anymore which scenario it
exactly was), I copied the following javascript error message (IE8,
German):
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
> Meldung: 'document.forms.compose.body' ist Null oder kein Objekt Zeile: 22
> Zeichen: 1
> Code: 0
> URI:
http://www.freexp.de/webmail/src/compose.php?passed_id=16370&mailbox=INBOX&startMessage=1&passed_ent_id=0&smaction=reply---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dunno if that might tell anybody anything...
We simply refuse to believe 
that the combination of these two plugins
shall not work (as they are both being maintained by the most active
person in the SM plugin area at all). So we're wondering what WE might be
doing wrong here - any hint?
On gmane.org we have found some issues in the list which were related to
the combined use of these two plugins (e.g.
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.mail.squirrelmail.plugins/14100), but all
of these problems were of a totally different character - and pretty
outdated as well.
So some help/hint would be most appreciated. Here are (hopefully) all
relevant details:
SM version: 1.4.21-1 (Debian squeeze)
compatibility plugin: 2.0.16-1
quicksave plugin: 2.4.5-1
sent_confirmation plugin: 1.6-1
spam_buttons plugin: 2.3.1-1
view_as_html plugin: 3.8-3 (Debian package)
Plus some more (IMO irrelevant) plugins. If you really want a complete
list, please let me know.
PHP5 version: 5.3.3-7 (Debian squeeze)
Web server: Apache2 2.2.16-6+squeeze1
IMAP server: dovecot 1.2.15-4 (Debian squeeze)
OS: Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.1 (squeeze) for i386 (kernel
linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64)
Installation: all of Debian squeeze via apt
My local system with which I saw the issues above is a Win7 Pro 64-bit,
Browser IE8 8.0.7600.16385. But we have seen the same issues on a WinXP
Pro SP3 system with Firefox 4 as well. The local system and the browser
don't appear to make any difference.
Any helpful advice most appreciated. If even more information required,
just let us know.
