OK, I did a little more digging, and it turns out the 2.41a version
_does_ set bit 20 in the protocol defined field if BESL support is
enabled. It wasn't mentioned in the "registers" section of the databook,
but there is a note to that effect in a different section.

So it looks like we don't need to worry about this for the DWC3
controllers, anyway. Sorry for the noise.
