Additional fact: when changing javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD to client, the flow seems to go into the getter every time which is what I need. I still don't understand why this is happenning, could someone knowledgeable enlighten me, please? Not sure if changing the state saving method to client will break any other parts of my app, either...

Instead of the getter, restoreState will be called for the 2nd and following requests to recreate the component. This is all speculation -- I don't know if it's true.
