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.
I set hdmi_force_edid_audio=1, rebooted, and still hear GUI sounds when passthrough is enabled, although DTS output during playback is now just static (PCM, I guess, so that part worked!)
