The problem with tabbed panes is that they themselves already are rendered
into a form (talking about HTML of course). Forms in forms aren't valid
in HTML, so your surrounding <h:form> is raising a problem.
Why tabbed panes are always rendered into a form I don't know. It does
not seem necessary to me. The only functionality they provide in matters
of interaction are the buttons in the tabs above the panes; they also
could be implemented as simple links, I think. At least a version of the
tabbed panes which don't use forms could be available, but I might be
missing some point :-}
