Indeed, you can pass the start() method an alternative user object. It 
can be as simple as:
$myBackendUser = t3lib_div::makeInstance('t3lib_userAuth');
$myBackendUser->user['uid'] = 0;
$myBackendUser->user['username'] = 'myExtBeUser'; // or use something to 
reflect the FE user identity
$myBackendUser->user['admin'] = TRUE;
$myBackendUser->user['uc']['recursiveDelete'] = FALSE;

It's a bit ugly, but at least you can use the process_datamap() method 
to properly create new records. If you include sensible data for the BE 
user the log entries are also informative.
