ODT file with 2 radio buttons in the same group

See attached files,

ODT file has 2 radio buttons in the same group, allowing only one to be selected at a time.

In PDF file, the buttons can both be selected at the same time as if not in the same group.

Reason for this appears to be that the wrong property is used in the PDF document to indicate the group name.

In libreoffice 4.0.4 (writer) I have the same problem, however I found a way to make it work.
The group property must be empty, the name of the radios must be the same, preferably the standard name for radio buttons (in Italian: Pulsante di scelta #) as a different name seemed not to work.
Honestly I didn't spend much time debugging or trying to determine if this is intended but I thought it was worth adding this report here.

I was in the same problem, but after read the "help web page" of LibreOffice: https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Form_Controls#Option_Button.
I have realized that seems like is not a bug.

thanks Jurgen for finding this and updating..
However, I see that your document behaves properly in 4.4.3.1 and 5.0.0.alpha1, but the sample document from this issue does not..
