Also repros without the form element

• Type ! and select the suggested emmet expansion
• Tab till you reach the body
• type input and select the suggested emmet expansion (this expands to <input type="${2:text}">"
• Start typing to edit the type attribute, typed text appears at the end as well

@jrieken An extra cursor is being placed at the end causing the edits to the placeholder appear in 2 places. Must be due to nested snippets?

Doesn't happen if you escape snippet mode after the first snippet gets expanded

Yeah, must be the merging of snippets... I'll take a look

Ok, I can reproduce, both placeholders (of the nested snippet) get the same id assigned. We insert <input type="${2:text}"> at placeholder 8 which is implemented as merging the second placeholder into the original snippet as 8.2. However, the final placeholder is getting the same index because it assumes the indices of placeholders start counting at 1 and don't skip a number...
