So, to follow up with myself... I ended up fixing this by unhooking bidirectional binding and instead use a regular Event.CHANGE listener on the textArea. There was some wack binding that was getting fired off right around where UITextField's validateNow() method was getting called. Unhooking the bind and only having the textArea update the model when it is typed in made it work properly.
