I was, um, kidding? I would never do anything illegal, and neither should anyone else.

For the odometer issue, couldn't you just say the gauge cluster was replaced and is no longer accurate? (Hypothetically of course...) On the FL titles, there is an option for exactly that. Is that not a common thing?
Yes, also the DMV may issue a branded title but it's not like the car becomes unsellable should the time come. You would just have to disclose that there is a branded title for odometer rollback. Also, the fact still remains that while they may jot down the mileage, they still become exempt after a certain time frame. As I said, most states it's 20 years old or less. In PA, they will note the mileage for every inspection, however you can still put in as exempt for the title on anything 10 years or older as well.
