It doesn't - it appears to be ignored just like an <input ...> tag.  Also, 
commenting out 'FormIgnore mv_order_route' as an alternative approach 
causes frontend and backend orders to fail in my tests - they just bounce 
back to the checkout (or entry) page with no on-screen error message, 
nothing in the log.  So far the only thing that has worked for me is 
disabling the 'Route default' entries as per my earlier post, though I 
realize that is not a long-term solution.
