Currently, Google OpenID users can be exempted from Email verification when the Google OP returns an @gmail.com address, because the Google OP will only return the @gmail.com address that is tied to the Google Account.
If we generalize this, if the RP trusts the user's email provider to always assert the user's true email address, then why wouldn't an RP trust the OP to always return a valid disposable email address?
