I could take a look on this in spare time, sure.

By "dummy" thermometer you mean separate plugin (dummythermometer or 
sth) which, once enabled, will register service in GATT and send dummy 
measurements when configured by remote? Or perhaps develop it inside 
thermometer profile (implemented as described above) so it can be 
changed into full blown thermometer role with API etc. later?

I should have BLE PTS dongle this week so will test both implementations 
as well in case you won't manage to do this until then.
