Spring Petclinic: "${owner.new}" contains invalid expression(s), Tomcat (6.0.32)

svn co https://src.springframework.org/svn/spring-samples/petclinic/trunk/ petclinic
cd petclinic; mvn clean package

The petclinic.war deploys just fine to Tomcat (6.0.32), but when accessing the application, the styles are not displayed.

Root cause is: /WEB-INF/jsp/owners/form.jsp (line: 4, column: 1) 
"${owner.new}" contains invalid expression(s): 
javax.el.ELException: Failed to parse the expression [${owner.new}]
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: /WEB-INF/jsp/owners/form.jsp (line:4, column: 1) "${owner.new}" contains invalid expression(s):

Is there anything extra that needs to be configured?

What about using this placeholder ${owner['new']} ?
