FWIW, there's some hope, as licensing@gnu.org recommended
solving the similar issue regarding doxygenerated documentation
for a (to-be-released) non-FSF LGPLv3 w/GFDL docs library, by
dual-licensing the comments and mentioning the dual-licensing in
the licensing info. Right, preaching is not the same as
practicing, but still.
