(2) Build the vol-bless and vol-unbless utilities, which allow you to manipulate the persistent "Blessed" bit on a volume. Unblessing a volume will take it out of service indefinitely. You should still be able to dump and restore the volume without problems. The state of the "blessed" bit is recorded in the volume dump, so the newly-restored volume may have to be manually blessed before it will be available.
The downside here is that vol-bless/vol-unbless must be run on the fileserver containing the volume whose blessed bit you want to manipulate. Also, while these utilities are fairly simple, the code is somewhat old and may not build cleanly. If you want copies of these tools, let me know and I'll try to produce a version I can distribute (really, I should submit patches, but there are only so many hours in the day...).
The option (2) seems more attractive to me and I think it can be a very usefull utility - it is exactely what I was looking for - so if you can find some time I am very interested in having that!
I have just submitted ticket #15928, which contains a patch that adds the vol-bless program.
