I just ran svn up and saw the htmlform update, however it doesn't seem to
have changed it. Should I be using something other than form.validate to
pull that flat dict of error strings out?

In the meantime this did get my form running:
      newerrors = {}
      for key, val in errors.iteritems():
           newerrors[key] = val.unpack_errors()
      parser = htmlfill.FillingParser(defaults = self.ARGS, errors =
newerrors)
