Hi:

Wouldn't that fail on 1.3.1 Info and Relationships?

...and if and when HJ resolves the issue with field sets / legends I personally wouldn't want to hear H1 blah blah Date of Birth each time I'm tabbing between the controls within the fieldset.

Subject: [WebAIM] Any problems with placing headings inside legends?

To improve accessible navigation of forms? Does HTML validation really matter in this situation?

Don't see any problems from a quick test on OS X and VoiceOver/Safari.
