Since this has been going for days and nobody has made the suggestion
that I was anticipating...
If all else fails, map the file into VM with $CRMPSC. Then pass it to
a program written in a language of your choice which interprets it as
a string of bytes and inserts a correct record structure, writing a
new file with RMS.
Caveat - I have used this trick before but not for the case under
discussion.

further caveat... many machines don't have a large enought virtualpagecnt to allow
any substantialy sized files... fixing it takes a re-boot
