If the list returned on the one listbox contains entries that weren't in the original list provided to that listbox as SelectItem, then jsf throws a validation error.

Yes, that's the case. There's a way to do this in JSF 2, which I've
blogged, but that won't be final for a few months still.
Offhand, the only way I think you could do this in JSF 1.2 would be to
develop a custom component - or use an existing component library that
already does this. I know Trinidad has this, and I think Richfaces does
too.
JSF is a component based architecture. If you're rolling your own
components, you're doing extra work when you probably don't have to.
