VIS doesn't work with Tao theme

bump

If i enable ajax on the view i get the error 'Views infinite scroll pager is not compatible with Ajax Views. Please disable "Use Ajax" option.' so i atleast know views_infinite_scroll.js is being read.

There are no javascript errors.

More info: the last list item of the the pager (the pager is hidden with display:none), is <li class="pager-next last">Array</li>

Yep. Scroll bar showing 12 items with 3 pages.

I also installed jquery_update so now my jquery version is at v1.5.2.

jQuery.autopager v1.0.0

views module 7.x-3.1
views infinite scroll module 7.x-1.0

I do get this warning in chrome but i dont think its related

event.layerX and event.layerY are broken and deprecated in WebKit. They will be removed from the engine in the near future.

It doesnt work in any browser on a mac or on a windows vm.

Some more info:

Doesnt work with any other field display eg. table, grid, html list or unformatted.

Turning Infinite views off, i enabled ajax with full pager and ajax works fine.

Im displaying title and body fields.

Found the problem. It was the theme.

Works in Bartik and all the default themes.

Does not work with Tao theme or Tao sub-themes.

Specifically, the problem lies in Tao's template.php with the function tao_pager_link($vars)

This is the code:

/**
 * Return an array suitable for theme_links() rather than marked up HTML link.
 */
function tao_pager_link($vars) {
  $text = $vars['text'];
  $page_new = $vars['page_new'];
  $element = $vars['element'];
  $parameters = $vars['parameters'];
  $attributes = $vars['attributes'];

  $page = isset($_GET['page']) ? $_GET['page'] : '';
  if ($new_page = implode(',', pager_load_array($page_new[$element], $element, explode(',', $page)))) {
    $parameters['page'] = $new_page;
  }

  $query = array();
  if (count($parameters)) {
    $query = drupal_get_query_parameters($parameters, array());
  }
  if ($query_pager = pager_get_query_parameters()) {
    $query = array_merge($query, $query_pager);
  }

  // Set each pager link title
  if (!isset($attributes['title'])) {
    static $titles = NULL;
    if (!isset($titles)) {
      $titles = array(
        t('« first') => t('Go to first page'),
        t('‹ previous') => t('Go to previous page'),
        t('next ›') => t('Go to next page'),
        t('last »') => t('Go to last page'),
      );
    }
    if (isset($titles[$text])) {
      $attributes['title'] = $titles[$text];
    }
    else if (is_numeric($text)) {
      $attributes['title'] = t('Go to page @number', array('@number' => $text));
    }
  }

  return array(
    'title' => $text,
    'href' => $_GET['q'],
    'attributes' => $attributes,
    'query' => count($query) ? $query : NULL,
  );
}

So to fix, in my template.php i added my own function mytheme_pager_link($variables) and put the default code from drupal back in there. See: http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes%21pager.inc/function/theme_pag...

The above 'fix' actually breaks normal Views pagers.

So is this considered a Tao issue or a Views Infinite Scroll issue?
