I know the rule books state to not accept the lineup without all substitutions listed, however, there is no penalty accessed if their not all listed.

Sure there is. Don't accept the lineup. (PS - we don't start without a lineup ... htf did he get to the 3rd inning without one?)

How would you guys have ruled in the scenario described, I for one would have dumped him before game started.

Well ... we weren't there and are hearing the story 2nd hand as it is... but I think most umpires I've worked with (self included) would have considered an ejection rather strongly - especially during the "face-to-face" before the game started.
