The root issue here is that when comparing objects, the equality check in
comparison.cpp does a simple pointer comparison to see whether or not two
objects are the same. However, when you access a form group where there's
multiple elements with the same name, you get a temporary
DOMNamedNodesCollection pointer. So the equality check is checking the
addresses of two distinct temporary objects, which of course will always fail.

I have an idea for a relatively clean solution, will post the patch this
evening.
