And why did you decide this was better than #1?

This was the suggestion I was just typing up. Or at least change how
the launcher uses it until after it figures out which set of vm
artifacts to use...

Which is like above, but I'd rather see it be deliberate, rather than
a side effect of path augmentation...
I have attached a patch to H-3090 that implements #2 above. I have
compiled and run on windows, but provided a patch that should also
link and run on linux.
This patch allows us to parse -vmdir: and augment the load library
path. To accomplish this I have copied a minimal amount of port
library function into the launcher. We might be able to do away with
most of the port lib functions in the entire launcher this way, but I
thought I'd provide this patch first and see if there was a preference
for how to proceed.
