Andy Guibert could you try to build a snapshot from my branch here:
https://github.com/gsmet/beanvalidation-tck/commits/BVTCK-188

It's a simple mvn clean install, then reference the 2.0.2-SNAPSHOT version installed in your local repo.

I fixed the 2 tests you mentioned in your report. It will be interesting to see if it fixes the issue for you.

We have some code to extract the ValidationException from the exception caught at deployment, hope it's going to work for you.

Feedback welcome on the approach.
