In the interests of avoiding something that may change in future if CRAN is restructured, would it be sufficient to include the link to the vignette on the project home page you put in the DESCRIPTION file URL?

Or perhaps <heresy>you could sidestep cran URL checking by using a bit.ly link pointed at your vignette, or similar redirect</heresy>... that might even be easier to maintain if you move your vignette.
