Could you see if making this part in eww-mode:

  (setq text-property-default-nonsticky '((face . t) (eww-form . t)
                                          (field . t))))

set only the buffer-local value of text-property-default-nonsticky
solves the problem without any regressions in eww-mode itself?

Stefan, does it make sense to have this variable _not_ be buffer-local
when set?
