ah i should read more carefully...
what about my second suggestion, using the ba raylength shader? It has
the option to use the shadow-shader for transparency so you could just
make the objects shadows transparent and that would cause it not to
self-occlude, on the other hand that would mean that the object wont
cast any shadows at all which also might be a problem
I usually render stuff like this in a separate pass to avoid headaches
like this.
