Ran into the same problem with Checkbox.pm, both with default and
submitted values.  Fix is the same as with Select.

At this point I'm wondering if it's even worth the trouble to use
increment_field_names = 0.  It feels like there's a lot of code that
doesn't take into account that default and value can be arrays.  But,
it's just such a pain to deal with numbers in the field names,
especially when I'm dynamically adding and deleting form inputs in
Javascript, so they won't necessarily be consecutive numbers.  Am I
the only one using multiple same-named form parameters to submit
arrays of data?
