I have a reason to uses this rate since it is easy to perform quality conversions from 24 bit 88.1 Khz master files (stored as flac files) to 16 bit 44.1 khz files for CD mastering purposes. I suppose I could Kludge the wav files so that they were half speed wav files at 44.1 khz and then hand the over to Flac, but I would rather have a cleaner method.

I don't see why not. It isn'tone of the 'native' sample rates in the 
frame headers, but you can fall back on an arbitrary value in the 
streaminfo chunk. Does passing in an 88.2 kHz wav not work?
