I will evaluate further and post a followup blog entry. My discussion with Dan Pascu, the author of cjson, corroborates these claims. I urge readers to read John Millikin's comment.

A fix is available from <a href="http://www.vazor.com/cjson.html" rel="nofollow">Matt Billenstein</a>. However, Dan Pascu, the author of cjson, deprecates Matt Billenstein's cjson 1.0.6 because Matt's patch parses the JSON twice, which makes it twice as slow. This will still be faster than all alternatives in certain circumstances. You will not find Matt's cjson on the cheeseshop, only on Matt's site. I am the author of the blog post.
