On second thought it is not broken. request.vars are processed during form.accepts and form.vars will contain validated values afterwards.
Since in this case field2 is not in request.vars, form.vars.field2 will be set to None. To set the value of field2, without it coming in thru request.vars (i.e. field2 is not in the form), one should use onvalidation to change it after it has been validated and before it is written out to the DB.
