When I rerender a component with "defaultChecked" or "defaultValue" react fails to update the "value" and "checked" attribute accordingly.

Before you say "use a controlled input" I would argue that this is a bug as it basically disallows uncontrolled forms with "reset" buttons. (It will always reset to whatever the initial default value was).

      ReactDOMComponentTree.precacheNode(this, el);
      this._flags |= Flags.hasCachedChildNodes;
      if (!this._hostParent) {
        DOMPropertyOperations.setAttributeForRoot(el);
      }
      this._updateDOMProperties(null, props, transaction);
      var lazyTree = DOMLazyTree(el);
      this._createInitialChildren(transaction, props, context, lazyTree);
      mountImage = lazyTree;
    } else {
      var tagOpen = this._createOpenTagMarkupAndPutListeners(transaction, props);
      var tagContent = this._createContentMarkup(transaction, props, context);
      if (!tagContent && omittedCloseTags[this._tag]) {
        mountImage = tagOpen + '/>';
      } else {
        mountImage =
          tagOpen + '>' + tagContent + '</' + this._currentElement.type + '>';
      }
    }
    switch (this._tag) {
      case 'input':
      case 'textarea':
      case 'select':
      case 'button':
        if (props.autoFocus) {
          transaction.getReactMountReady().enqueue(
            AutoFocusUtils.focusDOMComponent,
            this
          );
