Yeah, it took me a while to understand that bit as well while trying  
to reproduce bug #1374 (or rather why it didn't happen for me).

Specifically, the validation code checks these things in order:

1) if a custom_validation_<rule> function exists, use that
    example: "theme" -> custom_validation_theme() from admin/configuration.php
2) if a method with the same name as the rule exists, use that
    example: "stringOrEmpty" -> stringOrEmpty() from validator.class.php
3) else assume the "rule" is really a regexp
