I wasn't suggesting it to get you an answer quicker. It was to help
you towards getting an answer at all by eliminating some variables.

Having never had this problem myself, I did some searching. As far as
I can tell you are probably dealing with a different problem. There
was a patch applied in 5.3 for an issue with the same error message. I
suspect you are dealing with something else specific to those contrib
modules.

Just because something says "validation error" doesn't mean it is the
same problem. It's not like null pointer exceptions in Java apps all
come from the same bug.

There hasn't been any indication so far that you have tried any of the
suggestions for isolating this problem. This problem you've hit
certainly hasn't crippled everyones Drupal sites, so it is going to
take some diagnosing to find out how to reproduce it.

The mailing lists or forums aren't the place for tracking and fixing
bugs. These are just for getting some help from fellow users. Once
we've helped you isolate the problem, you'll be able to file an issue
against the right components where it can be tracked by the developers
that work on those components.
