I think the best solution (albeit a deeply flawed one) is to have him still sent to the havens after the Bragollach. But there seems little reason for this to happen. Nonetheless, I still think that it would be preferrable to keep the new genealogy and either concoct some minimalist reason or simply leave his exact movements vague.

Were do you see the flaw in that version?
For men in that age it was normal to send their children to other families to be aducated and to strengthen the freindship between the families.
There was a grate friendship between Nargothrond and the Falas. Finrod build a tower in the Falas and helped Cirdan to repair the havens. I think it would be normal for Orodreth to send his yound son to his allies to learn about thier habits.
Not that such a fanfic should be mentioned, but as a background basis for such a version it could work.
