Jun 27, 2012 at 1:00 comment added David Roberts You'd better send this counterexample back to the fiery chasm from whence it came... ;-)
Jun 26, 2012 at 21:49 comment added David Roberts Hmm, yes, F_1 and F_2 do seem to be isomorphic in my case. Well spotted!
Jun 26, 2012 at 14:57 comment added Vidit Nanda +1 for the "whence" in that final sentence...
Jun 26, 2012 at 13:11 comment added Andrew Stacey Yes, that's why I put my first comment in - I suspected that there would be extra information that would exclude this situation, such as $F_1$ and $F_2$ being isomorphic.
Jun 26, 2012 at 12:12 comment added David Roberts Hmm, that \emph{is} an easy counterexample. The problem is, it doesn't feel like a global counterexample, only a local counterexample (to quote Lakatos). That is to say, what I thought was the essence of my problem, and which suffices in the finite-dimensional case, isn't all the information I have. But at least I know that I do have to use more than just the submersions as I mentioned here.
