Great minds think alike or Fools seldom differ I've already gone down almost exactly this track and while it does work I am currently using the deprecated saveErrors() method.
Will give your request.setAttribute() method a try as well. This basically means I am not using the Validator. Sticking everything in the Action negates all the advantages of getting this stuff unbound. Ohh well, maybe I can't have everything. At the moment I'll settle for something that works.
