Update on this: using the "vneg" method I described above works quite well on my (new) nook, except if the font is x-large or xx-large. Basically, if the font is so big that the longest line ends up touching the left edge, then the negative margins on the other lines may push them beyond the edge, so that you lose some letters.
Also, using inline-table, each verse stays together as a block and won't break over pages, so if a single verse is so large that it can't fit on a single page, the bottom will be chopped off.
As a work-around for books that have a lot of centred verse, I've considered making a 'large-type' version that is just left-aligned (since it will fill the line anyway) and a 'normal' version that centres. But I hate the idea of having more than one version of a book. It just may not be possible to have a perfect reflowable book that works in all cases, though.
