Okay then, this is probably even messier than the last set of options, but it appears the disconnect URL is statically defined in the sesstimeout.js JavaScript file. To get to that, I'll put a layered LTM VIP in front of my APM VIP, apply a generic STREAM profile and an iRule like this:

when HTTP_REQUEST { 
    STREAM::disable

    virtual simple-1-vs

    if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/vdesk/sesstimeout.js" } {
         Don't allow data to be chunked
        if { [HTTP::version] eq "1.1" } {
            if { [HTTP::header is_keepalive] } {
                HTTP::header replace "Connection" "Keep-Alive"
            }
            HTTP::version "1.0"
        }

        HTTP::header remove Accept-Encoding
        set rewrite 1
    }
}
when HTTP_RESPONSE {
    if { [info exists rewrite] } {
        unset rewrite
        STREAM::expression {@'/vdesk/hangup.php3'@'http://yahoo.com'@}
        STREAM::enable
    }
}
