Well, I guess we cannot help you. There is code that seems not to be being executed. No good reason for that, but if the save code does not get run (and there is no way that it would not get run) then nothing gets saved.
I enabled logging in php5 and got this error when doing an admin create.
PHP Warning: Unknown: POST Content-Length of 353 bytes exceeds the limit of -301989888 bytes in Unknown on line 0
