I tripped over this a couple of weeks ago and Cees replied with the
hint that one can have FillInForm only fill in a particular form,
which should solve the problem.
I'd already stumbled over the ignore_fields solution and it "worked"
well enough for me, so I haven't checked out his suggestion. I've
attached his message in case it's an interesting alternative for you.

I apologize for answering my own questions, but adding
{ ignore_fields => ['rm'] },
to the check_rm call seems to make it behave.
Does that seem like the right solution?
You should also be able to name your forms, and have HTML::FillInFOrm
(which is used under the covers by ValidateRM) only fill in the form
you are concerned about. This means all other forms on the page are
left as is.
See the docs for HTML::FillInForm for the right syntax.
Cheers,
Cees
