(ec), test
their validity (ie. if ItemAt(0).getSomeValue() == null, etc) and

them from the ec prior to .saveChanges() ?
It would seem that if you can modify your code to iterate over
unsaved objects, that you could also modify your constructor to fix
this problem. But maybe not...
EOEditingContext.insertedObjects() returns an array of inserted
objects.
Or probably better, assuming that you can modify your constructor,
would be to create a new editing context assigned to an instance
variable of this component, lock it, and insert your new objects into
this new editing context. Then if the user backtracks or refreshes,
only objects inserted into the editing context of the current
instance of this component would be saved. Objects inserted into
other instances of the same component would be freed when the
component drops out of the page cache without being saved to the DB.
Aloha,
Art
