Thanks for your answers, guys - now I see that its possible.
@gmaxwell, the original software indeed wasn't letting me to make that transaction without a fee.
So I had to force it, by some means...

How about that, it got confirmed after all!

that's ok, it was just a tiny amount - probably too tiny
The software shouldn't have let you make a transaction which had very low chance of near-term success. Perhaps you've found a bug?
This saves me a lot of waiting for something that would never happen
If your transaction is queued, it will appear here:
- http://www.bitcoincharts.com/bitcoin
If it already made it into a block, it will appear here:
- http://www.blockexplorer.com
If you isn't in either, then leave your client running so that it will rebroadcast it ... something that could take tens of minutes, or more. It will eventually get included into a block.

I've seen it take almost an hr for 1 block to be found, I've also seen my transactions take a couple blocks before they get accepted.
I've thought about restoring my wallet from back up on some of these

Just restore a backup of your wallet and rescan, it will put your unbroadcasted coins right back to where they belong, in your balance display.
His transaction apparently was broadcast, just never accepted into a block. Though if not one single node he was connected to would even RELAY it, and it's not in any memory pools, that might work.

Thanks for the answer.

In the current software implementation, the transaction amount will be broadcast forever and the amount will not be spendable.
Will my Bitcoin client ever give up broadcasting one of my unconfirmed transactions?
I mean:
Is there some defined number of blocks after which it will just decide that my transaction does not have a chance to get mined? And so it will put the money back into the wallet, so I could spend it otherwise..
Or is it going to keep the unconfirmed amount blocked forever?
