It's because of the closing slashes you have in all your INPUT tags. Remove them.

CODE

<input type = "radio"
      name = "date"
      id = "Mr."
      value = "Mr."
/>

^^

That's peculiar, because HTML5 allows XHTML slashes, even if they are ugly and pointless. I don't see why they mess things up for you, but they do.

Can anyone else see why this happens?

On line 98 the SELECT end tag is missing, that's why the validator complains about the FIELDSET end tag. How did those closing slashes change things, pandy?

Also there are duplicate ID values on lines 103 and 109, and both the FORM and SECTION end tags are missing.

All errors except a few disappeared when I removed the slashes. But they don't now.
