The debug validation option enables some integrity tests at runtime. For
example making sure a flow is locked before it is modified. Making sure
data structures cannot have conflicting settings, etc.

If you want more info about the unittests, regular debug mode can help:

--enable-debug

Then, set the debug level from the commandline:

SC_LOG_LEVEL=Debug suricata -u

This will be very verbose. You can also add the SC_LOG_OP_FILTER to
limit the output, it is grep-like:

SC_LOG_LEVEL=Debug SC_LOG_OP_FILTER="(something|somethingelse)" suricata -u

This example will show all lines (debug, info, and all other levels)
that contain either something or somethingelse.

Cheers,
Victor
