@Judson
I think this is the behaviour you usually observed in forms so I don’t think this is a Drupal issue. I am not sure if there is a workaround for this. One way would be to use AJAX to submit the form, that way the contents of the page would not be updated until the form is fully submitted but I don’t know how you do this in Drupal

Why doesn’t it work with files? I have created a form that contains textfields and files, but When I select a file to upload and click a submit button that takes you to a validation that has ‘$form_state['redirect'] = FALSE;’ on it, all form values remain except those that were of type ‘file’.

Dude, thanks for this! I banged my head on Drupal’s form error handling for a couple of hours before finding this!
