What about rigging it so that guessing when it is solvable by uncovering
other squares first always yields a mine?  This could be used with your
method.

I think the method you suggested would work, but I wonder if it will
change the game play a lot.  If it doesn't, then it is probably the best
solution, I would like to try it.
