Havard,

Are you sure that the the +lon_0 is being ignored?  It seems more
likely that it is being undone by the +pm=oslo.  There are a variety of
problems with prime meridian handling in the EPSG->proj.4 translation
process.  I would suggest modifying the PROJ.4 definition to not
include the +pm=oslo and see if that helps.

You are likely right, I'm not sure what the story is.
