Well, it _almost_ fixed it :-(.

But I was naïve about what I could expect from onValidate().  I clear 
the validation error, but I'm clearing it after the fact — the form has 
already decided that it needs to be redisplayed because of that 
validation error:

From v2/Form.js:

    var finished = javaWidget.process(formContext);
    if (this.onValidate) {
        this.onValidate(this);
    }
    if (!finished || userErrors > 0) {
        cocoon.continuation = this.local_.webContinuation;
        
this.local_.webContinuation.continuation(this.local_.webContinuation);
    }
    return wk;

So there's nothing I can do in onValidate() that can prevent this loop 
from continuing, so the result is that I have to submit twice.

Rats!
