Comment:

 In WordPress core, if the name field isn't filled in, it will first be
 blocked by the browser with an alert they need to fill it in, and even if
 JS is off, it will be blocked by a WP_Error that says "please fill the
 required fields". As such, the bug on this ticket is not a standard,
 supported behavior in WordPress but one that someone has added. Therefore,
 the plugin being used to enable this functionality should be responsible
 for the issues that arise from this non-core behavior.
