Modalpanel - commandButton action only called once

[hdu]

The commandButton action inside my modalPanel only gets called the first time it is clicked. Even after relogging in (starting a new session), the commandButton action is no longer called.

<rich:modalPanel id="myPanel">
    <a4j:form>
        <a4j:outputPanel id="content">
                <s:decorate template="/layout/edit.xhtml">
                    <ui:define name="label"><h:outputText value="Name"/></ui:define>
                    <h:inputText id="name" value="#{myPage.name}"/>
                </s:decorate>
                <s:decorate template="/layout/edit.xhtml">
                    <a4j:commandButton value="save"
                        action="#{myPage.save}"
                        reRender="content" />
                    <a4j:commandButton value="cancel"
                        onclick="#{rich:component('myPanel')}.hide()"/>
                </s:decorate>
        </a4j:outputPanel>
    </a4j:form>
</rich:modalPanel>

@Name("myPage")
@Scope (ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
public class MyPage implements Serializable {
     private String name = "";
     // ... plus getters and setters

     public void save() {
          // Do save
     }
}

save() is only called the first time. Subsequent clicks on save does not call the action method.

use phasetracker and paste it's output for problematic request please

[hdu]

Output from phasetracker for first button click (on save). The save method checks the name for uniqueness, fails on validation and displays an error, which is the expected result:

Output from phasetracker for subsequent button clicks (on save). It does not display any validation error.

However, I am also seeing now that sometimes the action is called the first few times, not just the first time.
