In our forms, we vary names of security-related hidden inputs as well, not only
value, to make things particularly difficult for spambots...keeping things in
sync with server-side sessions. I know that popular CMS systems like joomla do
that too.

I guess if the form hash ignores all values and completely all hidden inputs,
but concentrates just on names and type of visible input elements it can make
sense. It's anyway only the visible input elements (except password fields and
now except hidden fields as well) which now get restored.

Obviously, cases where a form has optional inputs which are there or not
depending on state will not be restored properly with such a form hash...don't
have a solution here.

The form fields restore feature of webkit on back button is awesome and has
been a lifesaver in many cases for me. It's actually one of the top 3 features
making it my favorite browser.
