Validation error with name attribute in a form element

The first instance of the form element with a name attribute fails but all
subsequent instances with a name attribute pass. If you remove the name
from the first, then the second one fails.  It is really quite bizarre.

Thanks

Here is a short sample that only fails validation on the first form
element.
