dijit.Editor breaks forms under IE7

Description
if a dijit.Editor widget exists in the middle of a form, under IE, all the subsequent fields don't get submitted, e.g.:
<form action="/form_target.html" method="POST">
<p><input type="text" name="field1" value="foo" /> <p><div id="editorNode" class="tundra">Hello, world!</div> <p><input type="text" name="field2" value="bar" />
</form>
The field 'field1' gets submitted, but not 'field2'. if you send a 'close()' to the Editor first, then the form submission works fine.

not sure it's valid to have a block element like a DIV inside a P. That may be at the root of your problem.

Nesting block elements is valid, even <div> within <p> AFAIK, and this is definitely not the problem here -- I just tried removing every single <p> tag, and IE still omits the rest of the form after the dijit.Editor.

Another interesting datum... if the form is set to 'enctype="multipart/form-data"', it works under IE. Enctype "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" breaks. Curiously, it also submits an array of empty form variable values corresponding to the Editor controls. here is my POST form content dump with 'enctype="multipart/form-data"':
ARGS => HASH(0x102443320) (3 members)
=> ARRAY(0x10167af40) (11 members)
[0] => ✓Paste
[1] => ✓Bold
[2] => ✓Italic
[3] => ✓Underline
[4] => ✓Strikethrough
[5] => ✓Numbered List
[6] => ✓Bullet List
[7] => ✓Align Left
[8] => ✓Align Right
[9] => ✓Align Center
[10] => ✓Justify
field1 => foo
field2 => bar
The 11-element array represents 11 submitted form 'values' named "" -- an empty string. IE7 apparently thinks that the editor controls represent form elements.
If I set the form to method 'GET', I instead get this peculiar -- and clearly broken -- URL:

Probably an IE bug with iframe inside a form element. I tried this in IE8 with dojo trunk revision [16492] and it worked OK.

I think we'll desupport IE6 & IE7 before we get around to fixing this.
Just to clarify, the dijit.Editor in this case got created programatically in my code, but it works the same for editor created from dojoType="dijit.Editor".
