At the moment, you probably do have to do some kind of workaround like that, because we have only partially implemented validate() on models. Prior to 1.0 (and hopefully sooner than that), we're going to be adding a bit more validation to models -- partly to give models access to "self" if they need it. One of the things that comes out of that will be a way to feed model validation errors back to forms -- automatically in the form_for_instance() and form_for_models() cases and by giving the programmer access to the errors after calling model.validate() in all other cases.
