Ok, I've further debugged this, trying to find the exact circumstances in which the validator doesn't work. Now I noticed that the values of the name and id attributes of input fields aren't the same. I've created a fixed version:
http://lab.jeroencoumans.nl/register/index-fixed-name.html And now the validator works! So it seems that the name and id attributes ought to be the same in order for the validator plugin to work. But Drupal automatically creates the name attribute without the "edit-" part which it prepends in the id attribute. Is there any way I can get the validator plugin to work without having to hack the way Drupal spits out its forms?
