(a friend who is a Unix sysadmin so is used to finding his way around
annoying crap that doesn't work, but was beaten by the old version of
the form)

Quick Guide for How To Upload Your Own Pictures:
1. Create a Commons login. Say something about yourself on your user page.
2. Upload your stuff. Pick one of the "Own work" options.
3. Fill in some categories, etc. (wikitext, same as on Wikipedia).

Would that be worth putting in above or in place of one of the huge
walls of text presently on the upload form?
