I can confirm that adding an entry in the open/save dialog makes it appear in dolphin. Additionally, both ~/.kde4/share/apps/kfileplaces/bookmarks.xml and ~/.local/share/user-places.xbel get a new entry. So it seems that entries in ~/.local/share/user-places.xbel are ignored like Wolfgang Bauer suggests.
Thanks for the tip!
