One possible, though not very pleasing workaround would be to add
moves to reach the correct position, and add a comment explaining the
situation.

You could also end the game at the point of the illegal move and refer
to a "game" continuing from the postion after the illegal castling.

Hopefully someone will have a better solution, or perhaps Scid has a
way to handle it.
