yes. The attached patch adds physical-memory read/write operations to
the master 1.4. They can be accessed with the ethercat tool. Though this
is not a permanent solution for this problem, you could try opening the
port via userspace with something like:

echo -ne \\0<octal-byte> | ethercat phy_write -p<your-slave> 0x0100 -

This is the correct approach. It would have to be done in the slave
configuration state machine, perhaps before going to PREOP.
