I don't know much about EDID. Haven't seen the standard. However, if it has a data format that can specify any possible video mode, that is, if it can say anything an XFree86 modeline statement can say, then it sounds like another possible way to create an external tool for setting up an arbitrary mode at power-up. Presumably this would attach to the OGC1 in some way that doesn't affect video signal integrity, and just tie onto the display data pins to supply EDID for a display that doesn't incorporate that feature?
