Comment(by strider72):

 In WP 2.9 there is a get_file_data function (used by both get_plugin_data
 and get_theme_data).  You could put headers in your sub-plugins that WP
 won't recognize as a
 Plugin (I think if you simply omit "Name"...), then use a custom wrapper
 for get_file_data to read the sub-plugin data when you need it.

 In other words, this can readily be done right now with WP 2.9.
