This turned out to have nothing to do with Lowpro and everything to do
w/ Prototype 1.6.0_rc0. Some attribute selectors fail in that version
of Prototype in the presence of KB947864.

This example works fine w/ Prototype 1.6.0.2 but if you run it w/
1.6.0_rc0 you see no alert (popups):

Event.observe(window, 'load', function(){
