Never heard about this kind of handling (form link as nofollow) - it is too nice to be true:) It seems that i firstly misunderstood the code: i thought it would be like <form method="post" action="?some&query&string&stuff">. But nevertheless, the coder seems to think, a link placed in the form would be less accessible for the Googlebot.

@Evgeniy, are you saying that putting a link inside a form element makes Google treat it like it had rel="nofollow" set? I've never heard of that but if it is the case it might make sense here.

Minor pseudo-code fix
