I don't know if this will help anyone, but I've modified M$'s jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js to achieve this. It was overriding the default settings provided by $.validator.setDefaults() and was creating problems to me.
If you replace the JS file with this one it should work as you want it to work with bootstrap's CSS (no other changes needed - except some CSS classes on input elements and labels).
The $jQval.setDefaults() is the main stuff. The rest is just me fixing M$'s code.
