você pode usar admin_notices
gancho
primeiro defina a função de aviso:
function my_admin_notice(){
//print the message
echo '<div id="message">
<p>metabox as errors on save message here!!!</p>
</div>';
//make sure to remove notice after its displayed so its only displayed when needed.
remove_action('admin_notices', 'my_admin_notice');
}
A função de salvar sua metabox com base, se necessário, adiciona:
...
...
if($errors){
add_action('admin_notices', 'my_admin_notice');
}
...
...
Atualizar
Como prometi aqui, é um exemplo de como adiciono uma mensagem de erro ao meu metabox

_e("leave blank to get a notice on publish or update", 'textdomain' );
echo '</label> ';
echo '<input type="text" id="ot_field" name="ot_field" value="" size="25" />';
}
//save metabox here is were i check the fields and if empty i display a message
function OT_mt_save( $post_id ) {
// verify this came from the our screen and with proper authorization,
// because save_post can be triggered at other times
if (!isset($_POST['myplugin_noncename'])) return $post_id;
if ( !wp_verify_nonce( $_POST['myplugin_noncename'], plugin_basename(__FILE__) ) )
return $post_id;
// verify if this is an auto save routine.
// If it is our form has not been submitted, so we dont want to do anything
if ( defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE )
return $post_id;
if(!isset($_POST['ot_field']) || empty($_POST['ot_field'])){
//field left empty so we add a notice
$notice = get_option('otp_notice');
$notice[$post_id] = "You have left the field empty";
update_option('otp_notice',$notice);
}
}
Agora, ao procurar esse código, encontrei minha maneira antiga de fazê-lo usando o post_updated_messages
gancho de filtro da mesma maneira, então adicionarei também:

add_filter('post_updated_messages','my_messages',0);
