Multiple <value> elements in a single item

I have a DCT with a bunch of items inside two containers, of which three are not required. There are no replicants in the template. Twice today when a DCR has been saved the XML has contained multiple <value> tags for a single item. I have only seen this happen for items that are not required. The relevant section of the DCR looks something like:

...
<item name="Data">
<value>
<item name="PolicyName">
<value/>
</item>
<item name="PolicyBody">
<value/>
<value/>
</item>
</value>
</item>
...

The second <value /> element inside PolicyBody is the problem. This doesn't seem to bother the templating engine at all (although since there are no values I am not sure which it would show me in the form), but when my XPath tries to find the value of PolicyBody it throws an exception because there are multiple values.

Does anyone know what causes this?

Can I see your DCT? What version of TST?

The DCT is rather dynamic and has a lot of FormAPI, but the relevant section should be attached.

I can't see any obvious problems (or clues) in your DCT. I'd recommend filing a case with Tech Support.

Out of curiosity, if you change your PolicyBody to be a non-VF textarea, do you still get the double "<value/>"? That would be an interesting tidbit to include in your Tech Support report.
