Comment (by pbearne):

 Just added a patch this works OK but WP has "page" hard coded in a few
 places so I need to provide patch's so that we do a look-up for the page
 type for the home page see nav-menu.php line 729 and jpyper comment above
 for example.

 We also need to find and recode the rewrite rule that hides the
 path/filename when loading a homepage

 I also what to have look at what changes would be needed to make this a
 switch in the register_post_type function and not a extra filter step

 And it would be good to check that we keep "page" in the
 $args!['post_type'!] array
