Possible workaround to issue #849. As described in the issue, this is not a problem with PnP Core. Problem is because the Field definition contains the Internal name of the field in the Validation Formula:

<Field Type="Text" Title="Validate Formula" DisplayName="Validate Formula" Required="FALSE" ID="{41e93963-b9c4-4f33-a8c4-8f1adbb4d40e}" SourceID="{{listid:PnP Issue 849}}" StaticName="Validate_x0020_Formula" Name="Validate_x0020_Formula" ColName="nvarchar3" RowOrdinal="0" Version="3" EnforceUniqueValues="FALSE" Indexed="FALSE" MaxLength="255">
    <Validation Message="Text must contain PnP">=ISNUMBER(FIND("PnP",Validate_x0020_Formula))</Validation>

However, with that Internal name, it raises an error when Provisioning, because is expecting the DisplayName. This workaround replaces the internal name by the Display name (enclosed with [])

I've found another workaround to this issue. In your validation formula, you can refer to the field in the following format:

[{fieldtitle:Internal Name}]

In your case, it would be [[fieldtitle:Validate_x0020_Formula]].
