Comment:

 We "fixed" this issue by looking at rewrite rules. This works for our
 purposes but I haven't done extensive research to see if this would break
 anywhere. Perhaps it can spark some interest though.

 {{{#!php
 <?php
     switch_to_blog(3);
     $url = get_permalink(1234);
     $post_type = get_post_type(1234);
     $post_type_object = get_post_type_object($post_type);

     if(!empty($post_type_object->rewrite) && array_key_exists('slug',
 $post_type_object->rewrite) ) {
       $rewrite = get_option('rewrite_rules');
       $rule = array_search('index.php?post_type=' . $post_type, $rewrite);
       $base = str_replace('/?$', '', $rule);
       $url = str_replace('/' . $post_type_object->rewrite['slug'] . '/',
 '/' . $base . '/', $url);
     }

     $translations[$i]['url'] = $url;
     restore_current_blog();
 }}}

 This is not quite the exact code we use but it's a useful example. I'm
 super unsure about the quick and dirty str_replace bits at the end, it
 feels like spit and duct tape. I hope this is useful for someone, if
 anyone has a better idea, it would be great to get this one moving :)
