Due to divergences in Forms processing (e.g. LPS-68782), this is a 70x unique fix.

Steps to reproduce
1. Content -> Forms, create a new Form
2. Add two fields:
a. Text Field
Make sure to set it to Required and enable some form of validation (e.g. URL or email).
b. Form Text
Label the fields to whatever you want. I just put one letter
3. Save the Form
4. Create a page
5. Add the Forms portlet on the page, then choose the form you created
6. Fill out the text field and submit the form.

Results of Testing
Expected Result: The form will be submitted
Actual Result: The form is not submitted, the Forms portlet stops working, and NPEs are thrown in the stack trace
