Just quickly thinking it over ... When your form submits, you're going to hit an action. Your action is going to look and see what the user told you they wanted to do and act appropriately. Now, that doesn't help you keep the form from being populated, but you can certainly keep from updating your persistent storage using this information - and know that, instead, you should request fresh data to repopulate the form with. I like to rename my buttons to something like "action" or "userAction" - and give all of them the same name - so I can judge off the value of that parameter what the user is telling me they'd like to have happen.
That's my "spontaneous, first-cut" answer. I can't think of a way to circumvent the population ...
