Nope, I can't, I think you're spot on!
The first table in section 15.9 of "BC MIDI Implementation.pdf" is completely in line with your analysis, once we realize that the LED on the button basically acts in sync with the "on" and "oFF" messages flashing in the display (as described in the table). And this goes for both "standard" (.easypar) and "custom" (.tx) definitions.
So no, I can't see a way either.
