Awesome, thank you! And I appreciate your point that I was wrong to worry about the real-ness of the way I wrote the question: certainly I should have realized I could contract onto $\{s = -1\}$ (and that I could do the calculation for the diagonal case and then use that the space of smooth degree-$d$ polynomials is connected). This answer is great — for a few days, though, I will still hold out hope that the perfectness is also clear (since the dimensions count the same, it almost certainly is).
