I was thinking that the output register, being 8 toggle flip-flops,
could simply be wired to use the not-Q outputs for the bits that start
out as 1.

As for the shift registers, that would probably work differently; there
are D-flipflops with reset circuits (and presumably everything in the
6702 is wired to the reset line), so I spuppose some of the bits in them
could be wired to reset to 1 instead of 0.

There is something special about the number 214 though, since it also
occurs (ok, as 214 + 1) in the 6809 machine code routine.
