That way, the interior can "see" the illum source rather than having every source ray blocked by the blinds, which completely defeats the purpose of mkillum.

Couldn't he put a BSDF surface behind the mkillum?  Then mkillum could sample the BSDF instead of the blind geometry, saving mkillum from having to sample the blinds in all 1000+ simulations.  You could also include blind geometry with direct pass through option for the BSDF allowing the blinds to be seen in the renderings too.  No?
