there is a 'test' text appearing in front of the JSON resposne. Check your code for something like echo 'test'.

[EDIT] for order not submitting
Most probably the order is not submitted because you are missing the form key for your order form.
Previous to 1.8 the review js object was built like this:

review = new Review('<?php echo $this->getUrl('checkout/onepage/saveOrder') ?>', '<?php echo $this->getUrl('checkout/onepage/success') ?>', $('checkout-agreements'));

Starting 1.8 the review is built like this:

review = new Review('<?php echo $this->getUrl('checkout/onepage/saveOrder', array('form_key' => Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->getFormKey())) ?>', '<?php echo $this->getUrl('checkout/onepage/success') ?>', $('checkout-agreements')); 

I see that you are using an extension for the checkout called Excelence...something.
The review js object is built like

review = new ExcelenceReview('<?php echo $this->getUrl('checkout/onepage/saveOrder') ?>', '<?php echo $this->getUrl('checkout/onepage/success') ?>', $('checkout-agreements'));

or something similar. Look for this piece of code in your template files and replace

<?php echo $this->getUrl('checkout/onepage/saveOrder') ?>

with

<?php echo $this->getUrl('checkout/onepage/saveOrder', array('form_key' => Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->getFormKey())) ?>

[Second degree edit]
I can now confirm that the issue is what I described in the edit above. If I run in the firebug console this

review = new ExcellenceReview('http://www.agfbelgie.be/newmagento/index.php/checkout/onepage/saveOrder/form_key/8arGYSpcd7M7kVGr/', 'http://www.agfbelgie.be/newmagento/index.php/checkout/onepage/success/', $('checkout-agreements'))

right before placing the order everything runs smoothly. 8arGYSpcd7M7kVGr is the form key for my current session. You should see an order in your backed from user test@test.com. That should serve as confirmation that what I'm saying is true.
