I only just realised this, but it turns out every single WuProp task on my phone is returning a "validate error" so I'm getting zero credits. However, the tasks run perfectly well on my phone and complete with no error. What gives?

If you are not running any project (other than WUProp) you will get validate errors.
WUProp measures the stats (ram usage for instance) of other projects not itself.

I'm running Einstein@home tasks on the same phone, though. WuProp should be measuring the stats for those tasks.

Did you enable the Remote Control setting in BOINC preferences on your phone.
Also stop Boinc and do a restart after setting this parameter.

Ah, that's the setting I was missing. Enabled it and tasks are validating now - thanks!
