Steve,

I think the language in the 2010 edition of NFPA-13 addresses your
concerns:

12.1.1.2 Early suppression fast-response (ESFR) sprinklers
shall not be used in buildings with automatic heat or smoke
vents unless the vents use a high-temperature rated, standard response
operating mechanism

Hope that's in reference to your situation.
