I agree with @mirjak in principle, the best solution would be if a handshake is indistinguishable from a connection migration. However, when using TLS, the first packet of a handshake always contains unencrypted data, which is something trivial to detect for a middle-man.
Given this constraint, the solution @lucas-clemente proposed might unfortunately be the best we can do.
