John;
I don't think there really isn't any way to repair veneer cracked across the grain like that short of replacement, just like you said. I know because I have tried, on the sides of a Canadian RCA A-20 years ago, and there they are again. It's a structural problem, something underneath has expanded and cracked the veneer, probably due to improper storage or a design flaw. Once it has cracked it never really goes away because the fibers of the veneer are always under stress right where there wrap around that curve.
Regards
Arran
