I understand, you are correct.
Possibly the correct way would be to use another leaf version.
The "script" of such a new leaf version would not actually be a script, but a delegation key.
Then for this leaf version the actual script and signature from the delegation key attesting that script would be on top of the witness stack that will be used by the actual script.
This has the nice property that the existence of a delegation key is hidden from the output, and that if an alternate script is in the MAST (as an alternative to the delegation), use of that alternate script does not reveal that delegation could have been possible.
