Anthony, I have investigated by putting a 'print session'  in the 
controller and found this:

First time:

Firebug shows:
<div class="hidden" style="display: none;">
<input type="hidden" value="e502ec08-acf2-4b4e-ab93-7449c52efa97" name=
"_formkey">
<input type="hidden" value="akb_articles/create" name="_formname">


And the 'print session'  revealed:

<Storage {'_formkey[akb_articles/create]': 
'e502ec08-acf2-4b4e-ab93-7449c52efa97'}>
<Storage {'_formkey[akb_articles/create]': 
'e502ec08-acf2-4b4e-ab93-7449c52efa97'}>
<Storage {'_formkey[akb_articles/create]': 
'3e834837-f578-45b4-9cc6-8105a7c9bacf'}>


Then I reloaded

Firebug:

<div class="hidden" style="display: none;">
<input type="hidden" value="6aed7bbb-0523-47ba-a83f-fb25931559cd" name=
"_formkey">
<input type="hidden" value="akb_articles/create" name="_formname">

And the session:

<Storage {'_formkey[akb_articles/create]': 
'3e834837-f578-45b4-9cc6-8105a7c9bacf'}>
<Storage {'_formkey[akb_articles/create]': 
'6aed7bbb-0523-47ba-a83f-fb25931559cd'}> 

The history: 

>From a component (selectable grid) in another screen, the submit button was 
clicked and a function in a module called which did the following:

def gekose_skrywers(db, ids):
    import pdb
    request = current.request
    session = current.session
    if ids:
        session.ids = ids
        session.skrywers = set([x.uuid for x in db(db.akb_authors.id.belongs
(ids)).select(db.akb_authors.uuid)])
        redirect(URL(r = request, c = 'articles', f = 'add_article'
                     )
                )
    else:
        redirect(URL(r = request, c = 'default', f = 'index'))
    return

How do I find out where that last _formkey in before the reload comes from?
