I think:
4) Create a separate executable that ships with nautilus that just links
in nautilus-connect-server.c and whatever else is needed. Then launch
that. 

is better.

Nautilus itself just links in the code, so it doesn't exec the new
binary. This is exactly the same solution we use for
nautilus-file-management-properties for use in the control-center.
