Ah, good question. Try this:
$.validator.addMethod("dynamic_check", function(value, element, param) {
if(incorrect(value, param)){
this.settings.messages[element.name].dynamic_check = "some
dynamic message"
+ dynamicValue;
return false;
}
}, "whatever"));
That sets the new message only for this method.
