This should be made easier.

If you want to see how I've done it, take a look at the (not for 
production, not to be considered stable, for demonstration purposes 
only) FeatureEditor control with a change layer method:

http://trac.openlayers.org/browser/sandbox/tschaub/wfsv/lib/OpenLayers/Control/FeatureEditor.js#L162

All that should be cleaner.  Basically, you need a way to swap out the 
handler that the draw/modify controls use.
