That's up to the RM and SteffenK happens to be half of the RM :-)

It only worked when you called it with an integer; other calls with 
'pages', etc. didn't work.
The only (ugly?) workaround is to create a t3lib_beUserAuth object and 
send that with the call to t3lib_TCEmain::start(). In that case there is 
a 'valid' user object and you can even clear all pages, etc. like an 
admin would.

The current 'fix' is at least a bit strange. A valid $this->BE_USER 
object is not necessarily present in BE mode. Also the fact that an 
extension makes 'creative' (I would not directly call it improper) use 
of a function does not mean that it must be supported that way by the core.
