If you are willing to "restart" the code, then the interrupt doesn't have to
return.  Just re-enable GIE and jump to restart.  In otherwords you can
think of an interrupt as a GOTO 4 as long as you don't intend to do a RETURN
to anything before the interrupt.  I don't know if this fits your situation,
but I think I've used this trick twice in about 30 PIC projects.
