This is happening with the remix form as well.

Looking at the other issue mentioned regarding the similar issue, I believe this may help short term:

const form = useForm({
    ...formOpts,
    transform: useTransform(
      (baseForm) => {
        if (!actionData) return baseForm;
        const { values, ...serverState } = actionData;
        return mergeForm(baseForm, serverState);
      },
      [actionData]
    ),
  });
