I guess this is an ok way to save some tiny, tiny amount of bandwidth and server resources now and then when a user makes a mistake - but one should still not, under any circumstances, refrain from server-side verification.

I don't think the OP was trying to say that server-side validation shouldn't occur.
That being said, your statement makes me think that you are overlooking an important aspect of client-side validation: instant feedback for the user. It's not necessarily just about saving bandwidth and server resources, but providing a clean and responsive user interface.
