Yup, definitely bad.  <form> tags are explicitly excluded from the 
allowable content of a <form> tag.  I think you've found your problem.

As Avi said, if you give such atrocities to Seaside, it will happily 
spit it back out the other side, but the internal parse trees would 
definitely be a little weird.

If you care, I'm betting you could run HTMLTidy on your template it 
would catch such things for you.
