I think you are correct. This has probably been working because the
new field gets added as a text field (since it has an unknown value
for its type attribute). Because of the logic you've seen, the text
field is placed inside the invisible <div> the Form component renders,
thus it is not visible to the user and acts just like a hidden field.

Good catch, please add an issue to JIRA.
