unload() CakePHP Uploader Plugin does not seem to work - cakephp

Question

I'm using CakePHP 2.1.1 and Miles Johnson's Uploader Plugin v 3.5.
It's working pretty sweet although I think I have a problem when trying to unload the FileValidation behavior.
I have set up both the behaviors Uploader.Attachment and Uploader.FileValidator (see the bottom of the question).
In the afterSave callback I now need to save the Post again to add a Translated field for a different locale.
When I do save again, this seems to cause en error in the FileValidation behavior. I get the error:
failed to open stream: No such file or directory [APP/Plugin/Uploader/Model/Behavior/FileValidationBehavior.php, line 296]
Somehow the Behavior is looking again for the tmp file.
When I do not define the FileValidation behavior at all, all goes well. So I figured to disable the behavior after it has done it's job during regular save(), right before I go for my second save().
In afterSave($created) I therefore state
$this->Behaviors->unload('FileValidation');
$this->save($data);
The error disappears, but I get 4 warnings in return:
Warning (512): Could not find validation handler maxWidth for file [CORE/Cake/Model/Model.php, line 3155]
Warning (512): Could not find validation handler maxHeight for file [CORE/Cake/Model/Model.php, line 3155]
Warning (512): Could not find validation handler filesize for file [CORE/Cake/Model/Model.php, line 3155]
Warning (512): Could not find validation handler required for file [CORE/Cake/Model/Model.php, line 3155]
I also tried $this->Behaviors->disable('FileValidation') but to no avail.
Is this a bug in the Behavior (not properly unloading itself) or am I not properly handling the unload?
kind regards,
Bart

Not directly related, but are you game to try another file upload plugin? This one might do the trick: http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/srs2012/2012/03/12/ajaxmultiupload_plugin_for_cake_2_0_x_and_2_1

Not sure if this will fix yours but I found (for some reason I don't know why) this error gets thrown if you don't have debug set to 0 in your Config/core.php
