I submitted a patch to help with this sort of thing to the GDAL team 17 months 
ago which is unfortunately being blocked/ignored longterm for (what I consider 
to be) very unwise reasons.

In the meantime I suggest you can download this alternative version that will 
give you full control over how nodata in controlled across multiple rasters. 
It's only a couple of lines patched from the original version. We use it on 
national scale rasters here with very complex functions, but it works just as 
well for easy functions.
