...except it still produces a file called foo.beam,
so c(foo, [no_error_module_mismatch]) still won't work.

It seems as if a wrapper is needed:

compile(F, Opts) ->
   case compile:file(F, [{parse_transform,rename},binary,
                         no_error_module_mismatch|Opts]) of
     {ok, Mod, Bin} ->
       Dir = filename:dirname(F),
       OutF = filename:join(Dir, atom_to_list(Mod) ++ ".beam"),
       ok = file:write_file(OutF, Bin),
       {ok, Mod};
     Error ->
       Error
   end.

(Above code not compiled - let alone tested.)
