Incorrect validation submitting webform with mandatory checkboxes

Problem/Motivation

I have a webform containing several fields, one of which contains four checkboxes and is marked Mandatory. The form is submitting data to CiviCRM through the Webform CiviCRM Integration module.

If the user selects an existing record in order to update it, at least one of the checkboxes will already have been filled in. If they then update some other field and submit the form it gives a validation error asking that the checkbox field be filled in, even though one box is ticked already. This does not occur on other Mandatory fields.

There is a workaround, to untick and re-tick the box, after which it is accepted, but this is not necessarily obvious to the user.

Steps to reproduce

See attached file containing export of the form. It does however need the CiviCRM database behind it. I don't think the situation arises in pure Drupal use, where the form is only submitting new entries, not performing updates.

If this is actually a CiviCRM Integration issue, please advise.

Please isolate the issue to a simple example webform with only the elements and configuration needed to replicate the issue.

On further investigation it appears that this problem only occurs with particular type(s) of CiviCRM fields (E.g. Tags), which makes it look more like a Webform CiviCRM Integration problem. I will redirect this query unless/until demonstrated otherwise.
