With the battery totally dead how could the valet button effect this or does it operate a mechanical slide mechanism of some sort?
BTW, wheel liner requires wheel removal, some torx bits and pull pin type plastic tabs. You'll probably have to replace some of those. Given where this has gone I think I'd try this next. But it would be good to know why you've been thwarted thus far with the fully mechanical techniques.
Update: I just tried the valet button experiment and it had absolutely no effect on the operation of the mechanical unlock of the trunk on my car at least.

Locked out of trunk
My Jag R/S has a small keyhole by the license plate to allow the key to open the trunk. It is located under the U of Jaguar. I found this out for the same reason of a dead battery.

They all have it. (See the many threads...)
