After having read your description, I discovered that this question
is not about FDF! Thank you for using Occam's razor so that we can
finally provide you with an answer!

I understood that you were adding a field, and that it didn't show
up in the FDFs, but what I missed, was that the question wasn't
really about FDF, but about the fact that the value was missing.
Your problem is caused by a change introduced on January 31, 2007:
"If a field is required, the value should not be set":
if ((options & REQUIRED) == 0 && !"".equals(text))
field.setValueAsString(text);
The reason for this change can be found here:

Drop the REQUIRED flag; it doesn't make sense because:
1. the field HAS a value (the one you filled in)
2. the end user can't change that value (you made it 'read only')

I had to make a small standalone example to find out what was happening.
I hope you'll do the same if you have similar problems in the future.
