form.as_p ought to be showing the errors on the form. So I'm puzzled by how
is_valid could be returning False but no errors are being displayed.

It's perfectly OK to render in a template a form that returns False from
is_valid, that is normally what is done to point out the validation errors
in the submitted data. is_valid returning False doesn't make the form
invalid for displaying, it just means there is something in the submitted
data that is not passing validation. In your case what I'd be doing at this
point is probably stepping through the form cleaning code in a debugger to
figure out what is going on.
