This looks consistent to me. To clarify it, the first list item in the 
part on @seamless in 4.8.2 could then be extended somehow like:

o The user agent must set the seamless browsing context flag to true for 
that browsing context. This will cause links to open in the parent 
browsing context, unless they contain a target attribute which 
explicitly specifies another link target.

(I assume, "links" also refers to form actions here.)
