I don't know if there's a way around it but my first thought is that if you're hardcore enough to be needing to run code that's signed with a blacklisted ID, you're way more than hardcore enough to be able to easily make an unsigned (so can't be blacklisted) version of the binary. So if I were Apple I wouldn't waste much time or UI space on it.

That's a very valid point. I'm just worried about Apple's blacklisting mechanism being subverted, but I suppose stripping signatures isn't hard.
