 > I like this addition, but would it be possible to add a filter to by-
 pass this for specific plugins that are marked private?

 That would negate the point of the header. Additionally, it wouldn't
 change the behavior when the plugin is deactivated.

 > We use the WP update mechanism to update our plugins, and use existing
 WP filters to modify which url is used to both check for updates and
 retrieve updates.

 Right, and that means that you don't need this header at all. You're
 already changing where the update checks go. The purpose of the Private
 header is to prevent updates on a plugin. Not to redirect them elsewhere.
