Well, there's this bit where launchd does stuff via the plists, so this
only works if you can arrange for it to load one set, execute stuff from
it, then load the rest. If it loads them all in one pass, then you have the
problem that you need to force stuff to be mounted before launchd does the
scan --- but launchd determines what to do by scanning and loading plists,
and *nothing else* is running before launchd starts.

In short, given that it's not working as is, you're looking at modifying
launchd itself. (Remember, launchd is "init".) There is not likely to be
any kind of clever workaround.
