One of the suggested tasks for
OpenInkpot Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is an e-ink device emulator. This is characterized as "easy" for X11/C developers. Without such an emulator, I don't see any simple way out of the "can't do development without buying an expensive special purpose device" box. With an emulator, there is a chance that refresh issues can be addressed in mainstrean builds of common applications.
Note that OpenInkpot has been selected as a GSoC mentoring organization, but that does not necessarily mean any of its suggested tasks will get done. That depends on whether any students want to take them on.
