Here's my submission. Modified the signature a bit to make it more generic. Using .NET 4 features (String.Join() using IEnumerable), otherwise works with .NET 3.5. Goal was to use LINQ with drastically simplified logic.

static string CommaQuibbling(IEnumerable items)
{
    int count = items.Count();
    var quibbled = items.Select((Item, index) => new { Item, Group = (count - index - 2) > 0})
                        .GroupBy(item => item.Group, item => item.Item)
                        .Select(g => g.Key
                            ? String.Join(", ", g)
                            : String.Join(" and ", g));
    return "{" + String.Join(", ", quibbled) + "}";
}
