I would say yes, that's a misuse. If your messages represent the generic concept of validation errors, you should strive to have those messages created during the Process Validations phase (if it's things that validators should normally catch), or Invoke Application phase (if its business rule enforcement like "you cannot claim that user id because it belongs to someone else').

It seems like a path to the dark side. Yes ;-).
