Probably because it is not a valid form. The required "action" attribute is
missing. I would imagine the browser would use the contents of the action
attribute, along with the URL of the page, as a key to the saved pasword. No
action, no save. More to the point, no action, no *need* to save since that
form is not going anywhere.

As the specification state about action: "User agent behaviour for a value
other than an HTTP URI is undefined".
