As I'm reading the spec, you're doing "Mutate action" in step 19 here:

http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/association-of-controls-and-forms.html#form-submission-algorithm

Then in the navigation algorithm, step 7 says you just navigate to the
new fragment and don't reload the page:

Your conclusion appears to match mine, if I'm reading you right.
HTML5 is confusing sometimes, but it sure is precise.
