Jon, what I ended up doing to support this was creating an admin generator theme based on the standard sfDoctrinePlugin admin theme with a slight modification to _form_field.php. Essentially I added a new field option to the admin generator called "inline_partial". If this option is true, a regular form label and the help text are included. Otherwise, the behavior is as it was before.
If you have any interest in adding this kind of functionality to the admin generator let me know and I'll pass along a patch.
