Please ignore my post, I discovered what the problem was. I had been manually adding errors to the order object from the validations of another model (active merchant's credit card class), and my mistake was that I had added the errors directly, but the errors for each attribute are an array of errors, so instead I just need to loop through them and they add them to my order object using the errors.add method. Just in case anyone else runs into a similar problem.
