After a short chat with Zaxo, we both agree that the save function will only save name-value pairs. Thus, it will only work with a POST or GET query with params, *OR* if you create the params yourself (ex: $query->param(-name=>'thing',-value=>'val');). Trying to save the state of a form when it is first created will not work unless you create the params yourself.

The example in the docs validates this assumption.
