Validation Rules do not get applied (sometimes)

Hi, Here is a problem with an easy workaround, but just wondering if the problem has been surfaced.
I have a record in my DB with so many columns that I have spread the entry of data over 2 pages. The second page is actually the first page reloaded but pointed to the second set of columns.
The first page takes data for the first set of columns, saves, puts the ID into a session variable, reloads the page again with the second set of columns and when data entry is done, a final save executed. Before I get comment that why do I not make the second page a separate physical page, where the below problem might not occur, this strategy is part of a much bigger strategy that needs this approach.

On both pages there are email, date and numeric text inputs. On each email, numeric and date input I have defined the appropriate validation rule.

But they only work on the first page, not the second. The second pages will not validate.

My quick workaround is to define the appropriate text inputs as email, date and number, which avoids the need to validate, but just wondering why the validations would not work on the 2nd page.
