That is how form submission is defined in HTML5.

4.10.22 Form submission [1]
-> 4.10.22.3 Form submission algorithm
-> Table in Step 17
-> "http" + GET method  gives "Mutate action URL"
-> Mutate action URL is 
"Let destination be a new URL that is equal to the action except that its
<query> component is replaced by query (adding a U+003F QUESTION MARK character
(?) if appropriate)."

So it is a natural limitation on the use of CsrfPreventionFilter in such forms.
But I am OK with the change to the form, because I do not see a reason to use
GET method here. The action is not repeatable, nor it is bookmarkable, because
of the nonce.
