sounds like you've got a good grasp on things. As far as sync goes I was thinking more along the lines of where the flash fires in relation to the shutters passage.
My Nikon will sync to to the lead edge as the shutter opens, the trail edge right as it closes (slow sync) or I believe at the mid point of the exposure... At least that's how I understand it. I was wondering if you tried a slow sync setting, where the exposure is made based on available light first and then the flash adds it's contribution. I hope that made sense... My brain and fingers seem to not be talking to each other so clearly right now.
Also does the flash have a power setting? Can you cut it's output, and expose at "normal" instead of -2? It might get you the same overall exposure value, but cut down on any glare from the flash.
