Yeah, I did a little more testing and was able to get this to work:
let $xml :=
<docs>
<doc><test xmlns="some-schema"></test></doc>
<doc><test xmlns="some-schema"></test></doc>
<doc><test xmlns="some-schema"></test></doc>
</docs>
return
for $x in $xml//doc
let $try := try { validate strict { $x/node() } } catch ( $e ) { $e }
return if ( fn:name( $try ) = "error:error" ) then "bad" else "good"
So it doesn't appear to be the validate statement itself. The weird thing is
that if I take it out of the FLWOR expression, it works fine. I think it may
have to do with the kind of node I'm sending to the validate expression, but
I've tried every combination I know and none of them have worked.

That should be perfectly OK. It looks like some kind of lexer bug.
FWIW your query works OK for me in the latest release.
