Unfortunately, this is something that I haven't considered when implementing the FancyArrowPatch. As you may know, FancyArrowPatch is a single patch object (at least viewed from outside), so you cannot have multiple linestyles that can be set by users.
So, one option is to change the implementation to use a hard-coded line style for arrow heads, but this is not straight forward in fact. Another option is to use custom path effects. Attached is a modified version of your script with this approach. Although this makes your code more complicated, this could be the most straight forward way.
