<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<component>
  <scope>template</scope>
  <region-id>header</regien-id>

The problem turned out to be because I had removed the sites menu from the header, and the client-side code was blowing up when it tried to execute anything related to the *sites-menu element, which of course was missing!

The lesson here is to keep in mind that there is so much client-side link to the back-end that things will break if UI elements are changed in any way without looking in great detail at the events that are defined in the back-end. Freemarker (HTML), YUI and alfresco are tied very closely together, so always do things with great attention to detail!
