Hi matt,
I have been working extensively with bootstrap with web2py and I can say
the approach you are taking is the best way.
This is my solution
#########controller####################3
form = SQLFORM(db.blahblah)
if form.accepts(request, session, hideerrror=True):
blahblah
the hideerror=True is what does the magic.
It prevents your forms from displaying the error messages in the default
position which is below the form field.
In your views, you can now display your error messages by doing
<span class="help-inline">{{=form.errors["post"]}}</span>
make sure you put the above in a conditional IF, ElSE block or else the
errors will be displayed whether you have errors in your form or not
