Maybe the server should return something else than "internal error" then?
Other incomplete requests end up with a 400 error. "Internal error" sounds
to me as if the server is having problems that are unrelated to my request.

There are no special examples. It just happens every now and then. 
It happens much more likely if i upload via slow GPRS. A simple retry
usually works, sometimes a second retry is needed, but finally it always
works. It looks like it happens more often if the gaps between ids assigned
to new objects of mine are bigger which may mean that more parallel
uploads happen at those times.
