It's a tough situation, with no good answer.

We can simplify the bit about needing another user. If you use

sudo mount --bind / /tmp/IAmACoolNewMount  you should be able to retrieve
the file in the unmounted /home

That would then potentially allow this to be a shipped script to run.

Albeit user interaction and root would still be required, but a run-once
migration might be easier to write and maintain than long term hacks in the
pam side.
