Email address field is required when the focus is set on it and it is empty, and the user clicks over option "Create Account" or "Forgot Password".

Steps to reproduce it:

1. Go to the login portlet.
2. Delete the default or actual content of email adress field.
3. Leave the focus on the email address field.
4. Click on "Create Account" or "Forgot Password" option.

Expected behaviour : After clicking one of the two options, it redirects the user to the specific form to create a new account or recover password.

Current behaviour : The login email address field shows up a error message: "This field is required." and no redirection is done. At the second attempt the link redirects the user to the expected form.

I have uploaded a video following the reproduction steps.
