Unnecessary warning messages displayed upon addition of a chunk grabber

Description

Steps to reproduce:
1. In the Flexifilter module page, click Add new flexifilter.
2. Add a label and description to the flexifilter.
3. Add a component, in this case a chunk grabber. I'm not sure if it's just for that, or if there are similar issues for other components.

I saw a red warning that said:
* Chunk starts with field is required.
* Chunk ends with field is required.

While I know that this just means that those fields are required, it looks scary. I'd recommend putting red asterisks next to all of the necessary fields, as that is a universal symbol for required fields. This warning message should display only if you've added a chunk grabber without that information.

Ah yes, there is already an orange asterisk, but I didn't see it because of the redness.

This is not fixed- that scary message is still displayed. That should be eliminated, unless the page is saved without those fields.

I think we should wait for dmitri's UI overhaul before addressing further UI issues.

If the form contains the required values, but the module shows an error, than it's a bug of the module.
