You’re missing property names:

'{"property1":
   {"errors":
     {"firstname":"is too short"}
   },
  "property2":
   {"account":
     {"firstname":"Test"}
   }
}'

Or, you really wanted an array:

'[
   {"errors":
     {"firstname":"is too short"}
   },
   {"account":
     {"firstname":"Test"}
   }
]'
