We output custom messages all the time with no issue, as follows:
<field property="some_field_name" depends="mask">
<arg key="some_field_name"/>
<var><var-name>mask</var-name><var-value>^some_mask$</var-value></
var>
<msg name="mask" key="Some Field Name must be \'some_mask\'."
resource="false" />
</field>
