The error was not due to the preview it was due to the params being used
from url.  This only happens when using the bookmarklet as it keeps the
params in the url.  This has been fixed so that the form saving only uses
the POST part of the request.  I may need to think of better validation
handing as two params with the same key get turned into a list, before they
were just being conveniently deduplicated.
