This problem manifested itself on Liferay Portal 6.2 + JSF 2.2 with the following exception occuring when trying to run the FACES-1427 tester portlet:

It turns out that BalusC posted a solution on stackoverflow that pointed out the problem: The icepush.jar dependency has a transitive <scope>compile</scope> dependency on the jsp-api-2.0.jar dependency which needs to be excluded.
