Default value is substituted when viewing submissions for newly-created fields

Steps to reproduce

  1. Start with a simple form containing a few fields.
  2. Submit a response as the Anonymous user.
  3. Add a new field, such as an Email address. Make it Required. Give it a default value of [current-user:mail].
  4. View the submission from Step 2. It now displays your email address, not that of the original user. This is very confusing for some people, especially in an environment where multiple people manage a form over a long period of time.

Proposed resolution

I think the best solution is to just display "{Empty}" in this case, though I can understand that it might be very hard to decide when to do this in the code.
