The problem here is that the RBL lookup happens right at the start of
the connection, before the HELO has been received.

Already done. From the spec:

  The H and U fields identify the remote host and record the RFC 1413 identity
  of the user that sent the message, if one was received. The number given in
  square brackets is the IP address of the sending host. If there is just a       
  single host name in the H field, as above, it has been verified to correspond 
  to the IP address (see the host_lookup_nets option). If the name is in        
  parentheses, it was the name quoted by the remote host in the SMTP HELO or   
  EHLO command, and has not been verified. If verification yields a different   
  name to that given for HELO or EHLO, then the verified name appears first,      
  followed by the HELO or EHLO name in parentheses.
