No. One of the more significant V2 limitations.

Internal implementation detail.

Which is why the documentation notes that you can't use that feature and
still require signed requests, but actually that's more in reference to
the assumption that one is opening up unsolicited to all SPs and not just
one.

It could be that the choice to mock an AuthnRequest to implement the
profile handler is actually an additional problem because it runs through
the same security code. I can see that were it implemented differently
that might enable what you're trying to do, but that isn't how it is done.
