In the latest version of the validation code (I don't know about earlier
versions) you can specify a page number (or name) for each field. I believe
that is to handle exactly the situation you describe. If you add a hidden
field named "page" to your forms, and specify the "page" attribute in your
<field> entries in validation.xml, I believe that should do the trick.
