Although I understand the reasoning behind this, I don't want to include it in 
PyQt. Having to parse the .ui file for a second time is a bit too heavy 
handed (although it's the only way to handle it with the current 
implementation of QWidgetFactory).

I'd suggest you put it up on the Wiki at 
http://www.diotavelli.net/PyQtWiki/SampleCode.

Another approach to the problem (which has been in the back of my mind for a 
while) is to re-implement pyuic as a Python module (or maybe as a SIPed C++ 
library) which would do the job of both the current pyuic executable and 
QWidgetFactory. And it would be easier to maintain.
