Netscape does the very same thing, as you can verify using a get url.

This is, btw, correct: If you have only an input-text field, the browsers 
usually replace the submit-button with the enter-key in the textfield. IE/NS 
do it this way and I dont think it is standardized somewhere.

You left out the action-url in your form-declaration, so the action gets set 
to the current page. Form processing is defined as submitting the encoded 
form-contents using the given method (post in your case, get in mine) to the 
action url.

So, in my opinion, this is exactly what is supposed to happen.
