I haven't read all the history either, and I may be slightly out of my
depth here but here's an idea:

You say that HP didn't bring the JTAG signals out onto the system
connector.  Would it be feasible to make the flash board a "dual
function" board where through the use of say, a jumper, one would put
the board into "program" mode which would re-route JTAG from the flash
to the system connector?

That way all we'd need is a JTAG programmer wired to a mate to the
system board connector.
