bean validation working but empty message on Kotlin

I'm trying to get Kotlin working with bean validation on spring-webflux project.
Requests seems to be validated properly, but message of a response body is empty, so it's difficult to know the cause of error.

Hot to get a default validation message from responses?

Controller:

class SomeController {
    @PostMapping("/foo")
    fun foo(@Valid @RequestBody body: FooRequest): Mono<FooRequest> {
        return Mono.just(body)
    }
}

Request:

data class FooRequest(
    @field:Min(0)
    val bar: Int
)

The response of calling that api with the request "{\"bar\":-1}" is

{
  "timestamp": "2021-03-23T02:18:49.368+00:00",
  "path": "/api/v1/foo",
  "status": 400,
  "error": "Bad Request",
  "message": "",
  "requestId": "d1739c79-6"
}

So after reading this https://www.baeldung.com/spring-boot-bean-validation

I ended up adding an exception handler like this:

@ExceptionHandler(MethodArgumentNotValidException.class)
@ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST)
public ResponseEntity<Map<String,String>> handleMethodArgumentNotValidException(MethodArgumentNotValidException exception) {
    Map<String, String> errors = new HashMap<>();
    exception.getBindingResult().getAllErrors().forEach((error) -> {
        String fieldName = ((FieldError) error).getField();
        String errorMessage = error.getDefaultMessage();
        errors.put(fieldName, errorMessage);
    });
    return ResponseEntity
            .status(HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST)
            .body(errors);
}
