Isn't the FLAC encoder 'tuned' for the compression of audio data at
common sample rates anyway? Does it make sense to use FLAC to compress
arbitrary analog data at very high sample rates as opposed to other
general purpose compression algorithms?

Probably not the answer that you were hoping for, but because it is
only for research purposes, why not store the samplerate outside of
the container, or in the comments as metadata? The FLAC encoder
doesn't care what samplerate your material is, it just stores it for
easy playback. You can store 10MHz information, tell the FLAC encoder
it is 48kHz, and add a tag samplerate=10000000 or even
samplerate=10MHz, whatever your processing scripts accept.
As you are clearly using FLAC for something it wasn't made for, that
doesn't seem like a very big workaround to me?
Kind regards,
