As it stands today, Sept 2, 2012, the Facebook iPad app is very poorly done and is an exercise in non efficiency. I marvel at the failures of the Facebook programmers, given that they came of age in the days of the Macintosh.
Want to add a new Facebook photo album via your iPad?
Here is what I found necessary.
First, you must go to the website to create the album. Use a browser. No UI to do this in the app.
Then you have to Cancel because you cannot add photos from the FB page on iPad.
Then you have to quit the FB app if it is running on your iPad.
Then go to the FB app and find the album, and then you have to add the photos ONE photo at a time.
What should take a few minutes becomes an hour of ordeal if you have a bunch of photos.
