XPages - dojo IO Pipelines in combination with ExtLib xe:namepicker - dojo

Question

I have a big problem using dojo IO Pipelines in combination with ExtLib Controls (e.g. xe:namepicker) in Domino 9.0.1 FP3.
For illustration here two scenarios....
The XPage code for the first scenario (without xe:namepicker):
<xp:this.properties>
<xp:parameter name="xsp.client.script.dojo.djConfig" value="ioPublish:true"></xp:parameter>
</xp:this.properties>
<xp:button value="Partial Refresh" id="button1">
<xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true" refreshMode="partial" refreshId="main" execMode="partial">
<xp:this.onComplete><![CDATA[doPartialRefreshOf(['tagCloud1', 'tagCloud2']); ]]></xp:this.onComplete>
</xp:eventHandler>
</xp:button>
<xp:panel id="main" style="background-color:rgb(0,255,64);">CONTENT</xp:panel>
<xp:panel id="tagCloud1" style="background-color:rgb(255,128,0)">TAGCLOUD1</xp:panel>
<xp:panel id="tagCloud2" style="background-color:rgb(128,0,255)">TAGCLOUD2</xp:panel>
<xp:eventHandler event="onClientLoad" submit="false">
<xp:this.script><![CDATA[dojo.subscribe("/dojo/io/start", function(data){
console.log("triggered on /dojo/io/start channel");
});
dojo.subscribe("/dojo/io/stop", function(data){
console.log("triggered on /dojo/io/stop channel");
});]]></xp:this.script>
</xp:eventHandler>
Click on the button “Partial Refresh” results in the following output (on Firebug console):
triggered on /dojo/io/stop channel
POST...main
GET...tagCloud1
GET...tagCloud2
triggered on /dojo/io/stop channel
All works perfect!
The XPage code for the second scenario (with xe:namepicker):
<xp:this.properties>
<xp:parameter name="xsp.client.script.dojo.djConfig" value="ioPublish:true"></xp:parameter>
</xp:this.properties>
<xp:button value="Partial Refresh" id="button1">
<xp:eventHandler event="onclick" submit="true" refreshMode="partial" refreshId="main" execMode="partial">
<xp:this.onComplete><![CDATA[doPartialRefreshOf(['tagCloud1', 'tagCloud2']); ]]></xp:this.onComplete>
</xp:eventHandler>
</xp:button>
<xe:namePicker id="namePicker1" for="inputText1" pickerText="NamePicker"></xe:namePicker>
<xp:panel id="main" style="background-color:rgb(0,255,64);">CONTENT</xp:panel>
<xp:panel id="tagCloud1" style="background-color:rgb(255,128,0)">TAGCLOUD1</xp:panel>
<xp:panel id="tagCloud2" style="background-color:rgb(128,0,255)">TAGCLOUD2</xp:panel>
<xp:eventHandler event="onClientLoad" submit="false">
<xp:this.script><![CDATA[dojo.subscribe("/dojo/io/start", function(data){
console.log("triggered on /dojo/io/start channel");
});
dojo.subscribe("/dojo/io/stop", function(data){
console.log("triggered on /dojo/io/stop channel");
});]]></xp:this.script>
</xp:eventHandler>
Click on the button “Partial Refresh” results in the following output (on Firebug console):
POST...main
GET...tagCloud1
GET...tagCloud2
As you can see, there is no output (/dojo/io/...) on the firebug console (dojo/io channels will not be triggered..)!
Both scenarios are working perfect in Domino 8.5.3 FP6 + Lotus Domino Upgrade Pack.
Any hints/advices how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance

9.0.1FP3 contains Dojo v1.9.4, and dojo/io has been deprecated since dojo 1.8. This may be part of the problem. See here: http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/1.9/dojo/io.html
You could try using dojo/request instead, as suggested in that link. I'm not really familiar with the old IO or the new request packages though, so you would need to do some investgiation.
