It is dodgy.  What happens is the browser will replace the last
component of the url with a literal '{$PageUrl}'.  So, if the
form is being generated from 

    http://www.example.com/wiki/Fox/XYZ

then the browser will submit the form to something like

    http://www.example.com/wiki/Fox/%7b%24PageUrl%7d

What happens after that depends on the webserver config.
If it gets all the way to PmWiki that way, then PmWiki 
will probably treat it as an invalid pagename, or 
just strip it down to the group home page.
