I am posting this as just a solution in case anyone else runs up against this issue. I have seen it twice now, both on older 4.7.x Umbraco sites which have the Gecko.Uploadify 1.6 package installed. In both instances the uploader was working normally then out of blue "broke" (according to the customer)
The problem appears to be in the Gecko installer itself. When it modifies the File Media Type, it creates a label on the File tab with the alias "umbracoextentio" - note the missing "n"
Once you add the n to the end, so that the alias name is "umbracoextention" the uploader works correctly. I thought it was a weird oddity the first time I found it, but after seeing the issue again today I thought I'd share and hopefully save someone the hours that I spent trying to find this. :-)
