There's a problem with your idea.
(1) Microsoft's revocation certificates would be based on the hash of the PE
binary, not the key.
(2) Re-signing would make the keys then dependent on our master key rather
than directly on Microsoft's. Microsoft's revocation certificates[*]
would then be useless.
(3) The only way Microsoft could then revoke the extra keys would be to
revoke our *master* key.
[*] Assuming of course we add support for these.
