HTML-FormFu 0.04000 fixes this.

    - Incompatible Change: Button element no longer sets retain_default(1) -
      now sets force_default(1). Fixes bug where multiple buttons with same
      name were getting the wrong value after being redisplayed after errors.

You could do the same on an application-wide level with default_args()
