Thanks guys, I agree the validator isn't encountering an exceptional condition so shouldn't throw an exception.
Whether the user code (in this case createUser) should seems to come down to whether invalid data (or to put it another way, data that breaks the normal functionality of the code), is an unusual situation. I'm inclined to say it is, just because you expect it to happen doesn't negate it unusualness: its a known unknown ;). @Eric: the code in question is just example code using the validator (a couple of controller methods), rather than anything in the symfony code.
