Thank you, thank you, thank you, Luis! It never occurred to me that I could load it manually. This worked!
Also, it turns out that my original approach did not work because UAT preferences is one of the only preference types which, if changed, doesn't lead to the calling of the apply_cb passed in prefs_register_protocol... Perhaps there is a reason for it, but for now, my requirement is met and I am submitting a new patch.
Thanks again!
Abhik.

You can call uat_load() to have it loaded before preferences.
