I did try enabling passthrough with this build, and I still heard GUI sounds, but that could just be due to the lack of a receiver so in my case passthrough is being ignored.
You can fake the lack of hardware with config options.
So,
hdmi_force_edid_audio=1
will make the Pi believe the hdmi device supports passthrough. You then select hdmi and enable passthrough and although you won't hear anything, it should behave the same (in terms of hanging or crashing) as it would for someone with a passthrough recevier.
hdmi_force_edid_3d =1
can be useful for testing 3d behaviour without a 3d tv.
