I would not consider this a bug. I would not expect it to work this way. But then I also think that the generic Object field is evil, though I am sometimes sucked into believing it is not. So I guess the way to fix it would be to check the invariants within the validation method of the Object field. > In the mean time, I need a workaround that verifies that the invariants > on all instances of schema B in the Tuple on schema A hold during form > validation.

Yep, that workaround work, but the error message does not appear in the right location. I do not use formlib, so I cannot help with an implementation either.
