Would pressing enter on a radiobutton in a <form > with onsubmit event be called under 3.2.2 ?

Greetings everyone!

In keyboard only testing I realized that if you press enter on a
radiobutton in a form with a submit button and onsubmit attribute
triggers the submition of that form.
radiobuttons should only be checked using the spacebar key but it is
quite likely that some users may try to check radiobuttons using the
enter key.

Would this be a violation of 3.2.2 (on input), or just expected
browser behavior?
I tested in Firefox and IE, same result.
Cheers
