I sent an email to the nginx-devel mailing list, and the response makes it pretty clear the upstream doesn't care about this problem. They feel it's good enough to simply tell users they need to include at least one of the built-in modules which pulls in postpone.
I personally feel we should throw in the towel on this one, just document the limitation properly (that we depend on postpone, and there's no direct way to enable it) and how to work around it. I'll prepare a separate pull request to do so in a few minutes.
