+1 for getting this fixed in a DRY manner :)

tools.py does this by using the Messages() class for messages.
We should follow the same pattern if possible:

class IS_NOT_IN_DB(...):
    def __init__(..., environment):
        self.messages = Messages(None)
        self.messages.error = 'value already in database!'
        self.messages['T'] = self.environment.T

I suspect this isn't possible, though, since gluon modules are
executed rather than being imported?

This would a reasomable backwards-compatible alternative, especially
if a file was added to the scaffolding apps's models folder which had
all these strings in (& was maintained as/when new validators are
added).
(This file can easily be copied into other existing apps)

On syntax, I think we should maintain the one which comes with tools,
so:
IS_NOT_IN_DB.messages.error = T('value already in database!')
