Saturated upload?

It's probably color space - you're shooting in Adobe RGB, and the images aren't getting converted in software to sRGB before uploading to Flickr. Plus Flickr seems to do some odd things behind-the-scenes to your photo metadata. I've run into this myself.
One way to check is to look at them in Safari - unlike the other browsers, by default Safari manages color spaces correctly (yes Firefox 3 can do it, but it's off by default). If the images on Flickr look correct in Safari but less vibrant in Firefox/Opera/whatever, then it's color space.
You need to make sure when exporting for web it's in sRGB colour space.
As the majorty of people viewing are using non-colour managed browsers, if you want your work to look its best sRGB is the way to go.
In PS when using Save For Web, this is why it automatically converts to sRGB for you. In CS3 + CS4 that is.
In LR's Export dialogue box, you need to choose the sRGB option and your problem should be sorted.
