Alright, here we are:

Monammonium phosphate  65-82%
Ammonium sulfate  12-25%
Fullers Earth 5-7%
Calcium Carbonate <2%
Methyl Hydrogen Polysiloxane  <1%

All under the product name 'Foray'.

Basically, harmful if swallowed and irritating to eyes, skin and 
respiratory system. Naturally stable, no dangerous chemical reactions 
except possibly strong alkali, no harm to the environment.

It vacuumed up very easily, no sign of any immediate problems. It was 
really just a light dust on strings/sndboard and down into the 
action, not as much of a problem as I had feared. Apparently the 
piano getting sprayed was a side effect of spraying the room rather 
than the main idea.
