Please see the code fragment below:
Code:
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import java.util.Map;

import javax.validation.Validation;
import javax.validation.ValidatorFactory;
import javax.validation.constraints.NotNull;

import org.hibernate.validator.constraints.NotEmpty;
import org.hibernate.validator.internal.engine.ValidatorImpl;
import org.junit.Test;

public class ValidatorTest {

   private static final class BeanWithByteArray{

      public @NotNull(message = "Contract cannot be null") byte[] createContract(
            @NotEmpty(message = "Contract template must be provided")   byte[] byteArray
            ,@NotNull(message = "must be provided") DocumentType documentType
            ){
         return null;
      }

      @NotNull(message = "Contract cannot be null")
      public  byte[] createContractErrorDuringValidation(
            @NotEmpty(message = "Contract template must be provided")   byte[] byteArray
            ,@NotNull(message = "must be provided") Map<String, String> map
            ,@NotNull(message = "must be provided") DocumentType documentType) {
         return null;
      }


   }

   enum DocumentType{
      DOC,DOCX
   }


   @Test
   public void validateByteArrayParameter() throws SecurityException, NoSuchMethodException{
      ValidatorFactory vf = Validation.buildDefaultValidatorFactory();
      ValidatorImpl v = (ValidatorImpl) vf.getValidator();

      BeanWithByteArray object = new BeanWithByteArray();

      System.out.println(v.validateParameter(object, object.getClass().getMethod("createContract", byte[].class,DocumentType.class), new byte[0], 0));
   }

   @Test
   public void validateByteArrayParameterWrongValidation() throws SecurityException, NoSuchMethodException{
      ValidatorFactory vf = Validation.buildDefaultValidatorFactory();
      ValidatorImpl v = (ValidatorImpl) vf.getValidator();

      BeanWithByteArray object = new BeanWithByteArray();

      System.out.println(v.validateParameter(object, object.getClass().getMethod("createContractErrorDuringValidation", byte[].class,Map.class,DocumentType.class), new byte[0], 0));
   }

   @Test
   public void reflectionH() throws Exception {
      BeanWithByteArray object = new BeanWithByteArray();
      Method method = object.getClass().getMethod("createContract", byte[].class,DocumentType.class);
      System.out.println(method.getGenericParameterTypes());

      method = object.getClass().getMethod("createContractErrorDuringValidation", byte[].class,Map.class,DocumentType.class);
      System.out.println(method.getGenericParameterTypes());

   }
}


Running validateByteArrayParameterWrongValidation cause UnexpectedTypeException.
Code:
javax.validation.UnexpectedTypeException: HV000031: There are multiple validator classes which could validate the type byte[]. The validator classes are: class [J, class [B, class [I, class [F, class [D.

Checking it deeper i found out that it was caused by different behavior of method.getGenericParameterTypes() for byte array parameter in BeanWithByteArray.createContract and BeanWithByteArray.createContractErrorDuringValidation methods.
This causes org.hibernate.validator.internal.engine.ConstraintTree.findSuitableValidatorTypes to return more than one suitable validator type.

Hibernate Validator version:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-validator</artifactId>
<version>4.3.1.Final</version>
</dependency>

Please post questions on Hibernate Validator to https://forum.hibernate.org/viewforum.php?f=9, this is the feedback forum for the Bean Validation spec.

That said, I think you're running into a bug within Java itself, namely http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5041784. This occurs for methods with parameters of a generic type (here Map<String, String>) and causes a wrong type to be retrieved via reflection for array parameters of the same method (one gets a GenericArrayType instead of byte[].class).

To work around, either upgrade to Java 7 (your example works there for me) or avoid the combination of these parameter types if possible (e.g. by making the array a List).
