When you try to save a page that is the result of a form submit, the form is
silently (without a warning) submitted again, causing undesired effects.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Fill in some form and press the submit button
2. Save the resulting page
3. Inspect the webserver's access log

Actual Results:  
The page is reloaded, causing a resubmit/reexecution of form actions

Expected Results:  
A warning should appear before resubmitting form data, or the form shouldn't be
resubmitted

This problem may be a variant of bug #274745
