I see it as a defect of htmlunit and would recommend you to open an issue by 
htmlunit for it: htmlunit already accepts some unstandard stuff supported by 
browsers and this one could/should be supported too. Perhaps would it be
interesting to have the possibility to run tests with a "strict" client too.
If you open an issue, it would be interesting to see what is returned by 
standard browsers when both forms have a field with such a name.

can you tell a bit about what are the pros and cons you've seen in your
evaluation. It may help future "evaluators".
