As I stated before I'm not a JPA or JavaEE user so this might be
CompleteBS.
I also did some googling "test custom bean validation" and from
what I read I wonder why you don't show a ConstraintValidator class.
And also the JUnit tests I ran across seem to do a good bit of
setup that you don't show.
One link that I picked almost at random.

Also the spec seems easy to read. Overwhelming? Well, yep, but...
