We have tried it both ways, by clicking the submit button and also by hitting the enter key.  We typically submit by clicking the button and that has been when the error occurred.  Since the error occurs infrequently (which of course is too frequent if you ask our customers!), I have not been able to duplicate the problem when I was testing by hitting the enter key.
