The validators are cloned when they are assigned to the control.  I 
agree that this doesn't make much sense from a Python perspective, but 
it does in C++.

Validate doesn't do anything with self's validator, only the children's 
validators.  The recursive flag only causes it to also call the 
children's Validate method so the validators of the grandchildren will 
also be checked.
