I rework craft-store straw hats all the time (like this one (http://www.briarose.org/s-s/images/hpim3471.jpg) for Sense & Sensibility) - but I've never dyed them, just spraypainted or covered when need be. I will have to try that!
Do you think the "precooking" would work, or might the dye not take because the straw was already saturated with the plain water? I suppose you could dry it out in between, but that would take a while.
