I don't think it's broken per se. In any case, supporting saving of unparsed values (i.e. ad-hoc parsing) is quite some new feature which would require a lot of work.
By “ad-hoc parsing” do you mean client side parsing of the values on the front-end? We did this before and it's unfeasible.
I believe the simplest solution to enabling the save button while validation is going on would be this:
If “save” gets clicked while a validation is still running then the actual “save” action will be deferred until validation is successful. If validation fails, the “save” action gets cancelled and the user gets some sort of visual feedback (which should be the case anyhow because of the invalid value). This behavior shouldn't require a lot of work and would be really neat.
