I would still like some hint from the host to the border router that the
current connection isn't working.

If a host needs specific policies, would it be possible to "move the
border" for that host to that host? Then the real border routers only
have to pass the traffic without touching it and the host is in full
control, the border routers only get to say yes or no, which should be
enough to keep rogue sysadmins in check.
