A workaround...

I ran into the same problem with required fields on a Xpage form under the Tabbed Panel control. Here's a possible work-around:

First, turn off client-side validation. This is done in the Application Properties, XPages tab.

Next, set a flag on the server to check when you want to validate vs. when you don't.

I used the XPages' BeforePageLoad event and the following code:
sessionScope.validateForm="false";

Next, on the field you want to conditionally require, for the 'Required field' check box compute the value with the following Javascript:
sessionScope.validateForm;

Next, to enable the checking use the following code in your Submit button or some such event - be sure to put it right at the top so the validation happens before the rest:
sessionScope.validateForm="true";

I do whatever server actions I intend, then reset the value to false at the end:
sessionScope.validateForm="false";

I'm sure there is a better way but this is at least one possible solution.
