Applied Heidi's and James' suggestion to the uploader. Changes including the following:
New mockups show "x" for errors to the right of the error
New mockups images for 'x'
New mockups show adjusted language ("show/hide" instead of "which ones", and "warnings" instead of "heads up")
Click "Add more" will remove existing error.
Error Title now includes the number of files that failed to upload.
"Add more" button is disabled when the queue is fulled, enabled when it's not fulled.

Reply to Heidi's comments:
I agree, the "Add more" action should clear out all existing errors (additionally, the "Add more" action should be disabled when we reach the file queue limit)
New mockups show max # files allowed (a similar status should be considered for maximum file size)--this shouldn't be visible if the uploader allows unlimited files in the queue
New mockups show "x" for errors to the right of the error
New mockups show adjusted language ("show/hide" instead of "which ones", and "warnings" instead of "heads up")

A few thoughts:
-feel like 'add more' action should erase previous errors from 'browse files'
-be nice to know the max # files allowed
-would prefer 'x' to be top right. under warning icon it feels icon-y and not button-y. also right is where the 'x' is for file queue, used to it.
-"which ones?": would prefer show/hide list
-"heads up!": would prefer "notices", "warnings", or "errors"
Missing error messages for SWF and HTML5 uploaders when selected files exceed fileQueueLimit.
Symptom:
In the SWF uploader, if the selected files exceed the file queue limit, no error message is given to the user. Instead, nothing happens. No file is added to the queue. In the HTML5 uploader, files that don't exceed the file queue limit are added to the queue. Any additional files are left out. The SWF uploader never allows the fileQueueLimit to exceed fileUploadLimit, so a fileUploadLimit error should never happen.
Suggestion:
Render a message indicating what the file queue limit is, as well as, the file upload limit. We shouldn't be keeping these errors silent from the user.
