You need to do the following:
WebResource wr = ...
WebResource.Builder wrb = wr.path("/
path").type(MediaType.MULTIPART_FORM_DATA_TYPE);
wrb.post(ClientResponse.class, form);
WebResource is immutable, state for a request is modified on the
builder returned.
A call to wr.path("/path") returns a new WebResource instance.

Yes, RequestBuilder s a generic interface that is reused be the class
that initiates building and the builder returned by the initiator.

Sure, can you log a bug?
I think we can override the JavaDoc for the RequestBuilder methods
implemented by WebResource.
