Prompting TextInput and Validators

What steps will reproduce the problem?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1. Add a PromptingTextInput component and set the prompt property.
2. Add a StringValidator component and set the source property to bind to
the prompting component, set the property property to "text", and set the
required property to "true".

<MXML>
<flex.lib:PromptingTextInput id="test" prompt="test" />
<mx:StringValidator id="testValidator" source="{test}" property="text"
required="true" />
</MXML>

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
If you roll over the promptingTextInput you'll see an errorString tooltip
appear. This shouldn't appear until the user changes the textinput.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
flex-lib-2.4, Flex Builder 3 and Windows Vista

Please provide any additional information below.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I've tried to go into the component and fix it but I just don't know enough
about the uicomponent architecture to locate the correct function or
property to override. Even if you could point me in the right direction it
would help.

PS Love what you guys are doing. Great components == great library.
