Here's the latest addition: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tkachenko/4772684590/

Granted, more expensive than your solution, but "there's nothing more
permanent than temporary" and I decided to put an end to that.

Don't have the picture of a 1-Wire sensor at the moment (long term
test is running, and all existing sensors are in hard do reach
places), but it is basically a raw sensor soldered to wires coming out
of RJ-45 connector and covered with heat shrink tubing. Total length
is 3". Can be less if there's a creative solution how to insulate the
raw sensor - currently, the length is limited by how close to heat
shrink you can solder without activating it.

Will publish all the pictures and wiring diagrams when I'm done - some
parts for the final setup are still in the mail.
