Let me summarise, to see if I have the picture correct:

- you have per page uploads, with $UploadsPrefixFmt = '/$Group/$Name'

- you have a wikiform-based group with pagenames of the form ddddd

- upload works on regular pages like HomePage -- pmwiki creates
  uploads/Group/HomePage/

- upload doesn't work on Group.00001 -- it just hangs before
  creating the directory

- the same happens when you create Group.00009 manually via the
  standard pmwiki Edit form

- the same happens when you disable the wikiform recipe

- the same happens when you force a non-numeric uploads directory
  with $UploadsPrefixFmt = '/$Group/U$Name'

- it works when you create Main.00001 via a standard pmwiki Edit,
  ie a numeric page in a different group!

I am baffled, I'm afraid. Let us hope that setting up a new
forms group makes the problem go away. Note that wikiform
uses pmwiki's edit function to post its pages, so I can't think 
of a reason why it would interfere with the upload action.
Since disabling wikiforms has no effect, there must be something
else going on.
