Perhaps you should be using <h:errors> to display your error messages instead of <h:messages>
I think it depends on if you use saveErrors or saveMessages in your Action.
This is NOT true.
The differences between the h:errors tag and the h:messages tag are functional, but both can be used to iterate through any instance of ActionMessages, and both default to using the ActionMessages saved as a result of calling "saveErrors".
