text()/setText() are convenience calls to data()/setData() with the DisplayRole. So when we reimplement data/setData to handle the DisplayRole, we don't then want to call setText(). We want to completely handle storing our value. So I think you are working against yourself a bit in that logic.
But because you said that you don't want to directly work on the items, and instead just perform an action when the button is clicked, this makes it even easier. You don't even need the data/setData approach. All you really need to do is let the QListWidgetItem continue doing its own default behavior, but carry the custom item. You can then loop over all items when the button is clicked and do the operation: http://pastebin.com/UVhNkaMC That example lets you edit the items in the list. When you click the button, it does the rename on the custom item.
