Don't change the name of a Form instance in AX 7

In AX 2012 you could do something like this, where you change the name of a Form instance:

form = new Form(formstr(MyPrettyForm));
form.name("AnotherNameToConfuseEverybody);

args = new Args();
args.object(form);

formRun = classfactory.formRunClass(args);
etc...

In AX 7 changing the name seems to confuse AX to a sense where it can't figure out to actually run eventual code in (at least) the init and run methods of the form.

For many reasons I think it is a poor idea to change the name of a form instance, now there is also a technical reason not do it.
