OK, I figured it out. I have a hidden feedback form on every page
(generated with LOAD), which appears onclick. So basically I go to
default/user/reset_password I have two forms on one page. I followed
instructions from the book and the problem is solved:
http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/07/forms-and-validators#Multiple-forms-per-page
Still, I'm not sure why everything worked fine on the
request_reset_password page. In this case there are also two forms per
page, however, they never collided.
Anyway, thanks, Anthony.
