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).

          DOMProperty.properties[propKey] ||

        var node = getNode(this);
        
        
        
        if (nextProp != null) {
          DOMPropertyOperations.setValueForProperty(node, propKey, nextProp);
        } else {
          DOMPropertyOperations.deleteValueForProperty(node, propKey);
        }
      }

      CSSPropertyOperations.setValueForStyles(
