Associative model validation fails, but does not report.

So I have a form in my domains/add view. All the domain input fields
save their data just fine when the form is submitted. The problem is
that there is another field (Characters.0.character_id) that is to
save its data to an hasMany associated join model (CharactersDomain).
In the CharactersDomain model I have added a validation rule to the
"character_id" which I have set to always fail for testing purposes.
When I use saveAll to save the Domain data and the associated
character_id in the CharactersDomain the Domain record is saved to the
database but the CharactersDomain record is not (because the
validation failed).

So I have 2 questions:

1: I thought saveAll was only to save the data if all the validations
passed. Why was the Domain record saved if the CharactersDomain record
failed its validation?
2: When the CharactersDomain fails, I want it to display its error
message on the Characters.0.character_id input. Why did it not show
the error?
