I don't think this works.

If the new key is published in the root zone's DNSKEY RRset then it will
be signed by the old key, so a validator will have a trust path from a
stale trust anchor down to the special record (just like it does for
records signed by ZSKs).

If the new key is not published in the root zone, then you are assuming
that the validator uses DNSKEY records for its trust anchor configuration
(but some validators use DS records) and that the validator will allow any
RRset to be signed by the trust anchor (but RFC 4035 section 5 suggests
only using the trust anchor to validate the apex DNSKEY RRset).
