OK, I figured it out myself. I will write my solution here for the next person who needs to do something similar.
It is a security thing that I can not do cross site calls, it looks that HtmlUnit does not allow me to bypass this. As an alternative approach I implement a proxy in the GWTTestCase Jetty instance that would forward all calls to the GWT-RPC service. But then I stumbled on the fact that the servlet refuses the calls because the *.gwt.rpc file can not be found (md5 values are different between a production build and the GWTTestCase generated permutaiton). The final solution seems to be to use GWT SyncProxy<http://code.google.com/p/gwt-syncproxy/>. This is a little open source lib (created for Android development) that allows you to invoke GWT-RPC calls from a regular java application. It seems to download the *.nocache.js file and searches for the MD5 that is needed to construct a correct gwt rpc request. The only problem seems to be that GWT Sync Proxy does not support the xsilinker, but I can live without this for the moment.
