Could another special transponder code be assigned to this - and have the crew response alarms automagically get it to squawk whatever so that there is an external indication of the problem.
Of course, this may be such a rare event as to not warrant it, but that seems easier to me than an automatic pan or mayday which would require some robotic voice on the radio.
