The validator element() method delegates to check(). When check() is passed a radio or checkbox input element (call it A), it instead checks the first element with the same name in the form (call it B).
If element B is judged invalid, the bug occurs. Element A will have been added to the currentElements array, but element B is what is added to the errorList. So, when showErrors is called, element A will be in validElements(), and will be unhighlighted.
This is fixed by having element() also change its target to be the first element of the same name when passed a checkbox or radio input, so that the element which is added to currentElements is the element which is actually checked.
