Description
#### Bug, feature request, or proposal:
Bug
#### What is the expected behavior?
Angular-material forms should be presented in a non-error state when the conditions of the default ErrorStateMatcher are not met (not touched or not submitted)
#### What is the current behavior?
When a form is presented inside a mat-stepper, when traversing to a previous step, the form will be in an error state even if the form is pristine and un-submitted. Any attempt to try to reset the form or FormGroupDirective fails.
#### What are the steps to reproduce?
https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-material2-issue-fay224
#### What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?
#### Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, TypeScript, browsers are affected?
#### Is there anything else we should know?

Research direction
Start with the linked StackBlitz reproduction and trace the MatStepper interaction with the form and default ErrorStateMatcher when returning to a previous step. Done means a pristine, unsubmitted form remains non-error when revisiting a step, and resetting the form or FormGroupDirective works as expected.
