I was able to confirm several cases where error messages appear twice
or sometimes three times in a row.

- in Mainframe window, I got "dddd is not a valid value for Mainframe Topic"
  three times in a row each time I tried to Save.

- in Housecalls, I got "cash is not a valid value for Payment Type" 
  twice in a row each time I tried to Save.

There are probably other places where this occurs, but it looks this particular
one is a systematic response to having wrong values in constrained picklist
fields.
