I don't use TinyMCE but I have a similar problem with FCKEditor and Codepress (both JS based rich-text editors).
Usually, these RT editors update the contents of the field/textarea element just before the form is submitted, which probably happens after your validation. I work around it by manually updating the value of the field/textarea before I call the validation/submit the form. Hope that helps.
