So... the question is whether there are any sane way to avoid this re-compilation? As we want all the dependency handling of Tycho, we cannot just make a new packaging type.

If I understand correctly, you want to run tests against an eclipse-repository artifact right? If so, it was part of the story of https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=388909 (that you can reopen if it fits your use-case). Implementing this might be the most elegant way to achieve your use-case.

A workaround would be that you create a dummy eclipse-test-plugin artifact but configure tycho-surefire-plugin to actually run test from another bundle (setting the testSuite and testClass parameter), so you can take advantage of dependency resolution but get a minimal overhead with about nothing to recompile.
