This is an annoying problem.  Unfortunately I don't think it can be
fixed without major changes to the "form2" design.  Widgets probably
need to be told by the form if they parse the request or use the
'value' that was passed to them.  Until this gets resolved, form2
should definitely be considered alpha and subject to incompatible
changes.
