That's clever, and might be a good approach. I didn't think things through nor looked at the existing codepaths where we do that (and I won't be looking at them over the holiday weekend).

The test-part of the patch seems to match more or less what I tentatively queued after I sent the "convert at vreportf() level" patch and then discarded. You seem to have missed vwritef(), by the way.
