Well, my recommendation would be to bag the redirect-through-session
stuff and just show errors as forwards (not redirects). Then you don't
have to worry about cleaning-up error messages from the session.

I believe your solution violates the principle of least surprise: if I
submit a form and it fails, a RELOAD ought to cause the same error. In
your scenario, the error disappears (which is surprising if you ask me).

Avoiding the redirect also allows you to redisplay the contents of the
form without playing games with the session.
