Hey Colin, Paul makes a brake that would work for you: http://www.paulcomp.com/motobmx.html. It is expensive, of course, but allows using 700C wheels on canti studs placed for 26"/559 wheels. You might need to experiment with regular and long pull levers to get the right feel, but I can't see why it wouldn't work. Some of the v-brakes that have longer than average slots for adjusting the pads might also work. I think Xtra also sells an adaptor that allows using a 700C wheel on a 26" Free Radical, that might work if it clears a fat 650B tire.
