Maybe a custom variable like org-fill-paragraph-skip-regexp or similar that could be set by the user? For Timothy's use case he would set it to the regexp provided in the original patch? Not sure how much of the implementation in the patch is dependent on that particular regexp, but a general solution that could even be set per org file might be a very useful new feature.
