Answering my own question, with jQuery I found a way to display just a 
single error message div for a list:string type field. I added this code to 
the view:
    {{if grid.update_form or grid.create_form:}}
    {{#hide all list:string error divs but the first one, and move it 
before the data}}
    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        var f=['email','phone']; //list:strings
        for (var i=0; i<f.length; i++) {
            $('#person_'+f[i]+' .error_wrapper').each(function(i) {
                if (i==0) $(this).siblings().first().before($(this));
                else this.style.display='none';
            });
        }
    });
    </script>
    {{pass}}
    {{=grid}}
