Maybe an odd question?

Can you run two, or more, logins for the same user at the same time? (Say the normal one on Crtl-Alt-F7 and an extra one on Crtl-Alt-F5?)

I have an app that behaves badly that I’d like to isolate to its own instance of TDE. (There’s no fix for it and when it it goes bad it requires a desktop restart.)

Doable? Or anyway to do something equivalent?

Yes you can. The only issue is kdesktop_lock will lock "inactive" session constantly and there is no setting to disable that behavior, so you will need to delete or rename trinity/bin/kdesktop_lock executable and will not able to lock screen.
