I think just make sure any existing messages object is not replaced
e.g.
ActionMessages errors = new ActionMessages();
errors.add(ActionMessages.GLOBAL_MESSAGE, new ActionMessage("my.error.key"));
saveErrors(request, errors);
...
// then later
errors = form.validate(mapping, request); // returns a new ActionMessages
object
saveErrors(request, errors);
...
in above case the 2nd saveErrors() call would replace the initial messages
