Specifically, Epiphany attaches this event listener in web_page_form_controls_associated (in ephy-web-extension.c):

      webkit_dom_event_target_add_event_listener (WEBKIT_DOM_EVENT_TARGET (form), "submit",
                                                  G_CALLBACK (form_submitted_cb), FALSE,
                                                  web_page);

But this event is not emitted in the case where the form is submitted by JavaScript. :/ And it is not clear how we can work around this limitation.
