That's really really funny. I did that yesterday but it did not work 
(perhaps I did not see the persistAll method and tried to access the 
backend and then the persist method). Anyway. It now works.

Simple code for all of us (used in plugin Movie from 
EXT:mvc_extjs_samples to save a movie coming from an ExtJS form and 
submitted with an AJAX call):

/**
  * Updates an existing movie.
  *
  * @param Tx_MvcExtjsSamples_Domain_Model_Movie $movie The existing, 
unmodified movie
  * @param Tx_MvcExtjsSamples_Domain_Model_Movie $updatedMovie A clone 
of the original movie with the updated values already applied
  * @return void
  * @ajax
  */
public function updateAction(Tx_MvcExtjsSamples_Domain_Model_Movie 
$movie, Tx_MvcExtjsSamples_Domain_Model_Movie $updatedMovie) {
	try {
		$movieRepository = 
t3lib_div::makeInstance('Tx_MvcExtjsSamples_Domain_Model_MovieRepository');
		$movieRepository->replace($movie, $updatedMovie);
		
		$persistenceManager = 
t3lib_div::makeInstance('Tx_Extbase_Persistence_Manager');
		/* @var $persistenceManager Tx_Extbase_Persistence_Manager */
		
		$persistenceManager->persistAll();
					
		echo '{success:true}';
	} catch (Exception $e) {
		echo '{success:false}';
	}
	
		// Do not do further processing
	exit;
}

It still is not perfect missing an AJAX dispatcher but at least it now 
works ;-)
