Couldn't you use GUI objects for your interface sending them all into a [pd~] object to run a copy of Pd with no gui in the background? The only thing they could break then would be connections between the GUI and [pd~] which could be nested away in a subpatch covered by a canvas.
Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to prevent unlocking of the patcher window, although perhaps you could look for the control/cmd-E press and then automatically send a command to Pd to lock the patcher again. (This could get really annoying if you need to edit it.)
