Does it not work? Every time this question has come up (how to set an error on a field outside of raising ValidationError in a clean method) the answer has been "access _errors directly". (Yes, if this is the recommended approach then perhaps it should be documented better...I think there's a ticket open on that somewhere.) Anyway, the broad approach you are using is what has been recommended in the past. I cannot tell from what you have said if there is some detail in what you are doing that is making it not work or if you just don't like something about it.
