the node. Errors should be set with form_set_error().


This is not correct. The validate action can only be used to check the
submitted form variables. The submit action should be used to modify the
node.


Proposed solution:  Add the submit action in the list.
"validate": The user has just finished editing the node and is trying
to preview or submit it. This hook can be used to check the node. Errors
should be set with form_set_error().

"submit": The user is about to submit the node. This hook can be used
to modify the node.
