Would also like to know if there's any way to do this.

Currently i'm doing it by making 2 seperate objects with 2 seperate materials, and deselecting the Camera check box under Ray Visibility in the Object properties tab on one of them.

I'll check into it, but I really believe you may be able to duplicate the Scene, then have one version with the emission material and the other without the emission material. Then, go into the Compositor and mix the Renderlayers from both scenes. Check out the Tutorial for Rendering a Sports Car on CG Cookie.

I like the Creating Realistic Materials tutorial from BlenderGuru as well.

But I believe the first tutorial goes more in depth. Between the two I think it will tell you what you need to know about Compositing and Materials settings.
Good luck and let me know if this helps!
