Sorry, I see no difference in <https://bestpractical.com/rt/>
between unpatched and patched w3m-form.el.  But everytime I see
the error message "Cannot retrieve URL:..." in the beginning of
a page.  It is because the gzipped data emacs-w3m receives from
the server are somewhat corrupted; `gzip -d' says "unexpected
end of file".  Maybe there is something wrong in emacs-w3m or
w3m (Firefox works fine with no error).

Anyway, does your patch really help you to work there?  If so,
I'll apply your patch to emacs-w3m since what it does is
reasonable:

But it would be better to be:

      (if (cdr buf)
	  (encode-coding-string (cdr buf) coding)
	"")
