process() calculates submitted(), and if it's false, will return
without building the params structure.

$form->params() only contains known and valid values, which can't
happen if it thinks there's been no form submitted.

I suggest you just remove your indicator setting, that way submitted()
will be true if any known field is submitted, and process() will build
the params as you expect.
