Markup from required: true may be different from default markup for required fields

It looks like the mark-up added by the relatively new option required: true causes Chrome (at least, likely others) to do the HTML5 validation on the front end. Needs investigation and test cases to confirm.

I ran into the same issue. You can skirt this behavior by adding novalidate: true to the form.
