I don't know of any way for the host template to add extra things to the
list to be processed by the interface template, since this list is populated
by walking the ifIndex - which should still pick these up.

You can, though, write the interface template to change the behaviour in
these cases.  Maybe make the interface template identify when a selected
interface is one of these, and then it can signal that the interface should
be kept after all, and can override the default descriptions etc by pulling
the correct descriptions from the cmVirtContextRowStatus?

It seems to me that this would be better put in the interface template
rather than the host template; you can have one of each at the same time of
course
