WCM 3.1 and 3.2 content creation problems

Hello all. I've been playing around with Alfresco community and enterprise editions and have come across the same problems on both, but will just refer to the enterprise version here.

Background

I followed the Web Content Management guide from here : http://www.alfresco.com/products/ecm/enttrial/files/getting_started_with_wcm_for_enterprise3_1.pdf and have successfully completed everything up to and including page 17, step numbered 3, "Step One - Web Content Details".

Problem

My problems arise when I attempt to do "Step Two - Author Web Content" (at the very bottom of page 17). I enter the name which is fine. But when I enter a value for the body…

"Alfresco is the leading open source alternative for enterprise content management. It is the first company to…"

… and then click "Next", it seems like the body I just entered does not register/validate and I get a yellow error box saying "Please provide a valid value for 'Body'. 'Body' is a required 'String' value."

Further possibly related problem

I couldn't get the above to work so I clicked back and changed the content type to "Plain Text"
on the next screen I enter a value
I proceeed to the summary screen where I can see my content and it is of type "Plain Text"
I click to finish and get another error related to the virtual machine but the content type has changed to "XML"
I click back to go back to where I enterd some content (plain text) but this too has managed to change back to a content type of XML (what I selected on my first failed attempt).

Questions

Has anybody else had this problem?
If so have you managed to solve it?
If not do you have any ideas as to what's going wrong here?

Any help would be much appreciated.

P.S. I've tried this on both a Windows and Unix environment.

What browser/version are you using.  While using Google Chrome, I've run into similar issues trying to enter content in a Web Form via the TinyMCE editor.  Things have always worked ok for me with IE (7) and Firefox (3.5) though.

Chrome was the problem for me as well.  xs:string won't validate properly in chrome.
