Plone/portal_workflow - Why can't I add a state to my workflow through zope manage interface?

I am making a workflow, starting off with Simple Publication Workflow as the base (copied and pasted it) and renamed it to my_personal_workflow

The id is my_personal_workflow The title is My Personal Workflow

In my states, I added a state called draft (title is Draft, id is draft) and made that the default state, and I removed the other states. Currently I am trying to add another state with the id 'awaiting_his_approval', however when I hit Add, instead of creating the state, I am getting a message.

We’re sorry, but there seems to be an error…

Here is the full error message:

I am not sure why this problem is occurring. I don't have any other states with the same workflow id. What can cause this?

I am using Plone 4.3.

Edit:

This is weird. I hit the back button and submitted it again. The state was added. I know its not the case, but it seems to be random.

It's a little flaw of the form: The error occurs when hitting the Return-key after entering the state-id in the input-field. It does not occur, when clicking the "Add"-button.
