When a checkbox is required on a form, "required" message isn't shown

This afternoon - while we were testing out several forms - my team came across this issue where a required checkbox didn't display the "required" message when the field was left blank:

Instead, a red box is shown around the field.  I suspect this is a bug - that hopefully Marketo is aware of?  Just now, I saw that Sanford Whiteman​ posted a blog post that provides a temporary workaround: http://blog.teknkl.com/forms2-bug-checkbox-error-msg/

Reprinted it on my MUG blog too: New(ish) Marketo Forms bug w/required Checkbox fields, and a fix but I didn't push it to Products.

I'm hesitant to flag smaller Forms 2.0 bugs as fixable (as opposed to workaroundable) because another regression could be worse than the initial bite...

Strangely this worked once, but now doesn't seem to work anymore

What doesn't work? Do you have a sample URL?
