Well, that's not the only problem. Signing a message with the key associated with the address the funds were sent from - and this would of course have to be an unaffected address as well - does work well... if you can do so. If you are not the owner of that address - e.g. you purchased Bitcoin from a service, you're mining at a pool, any case where the coins were sent to you by a third party - you would be SOL, at least as far as this approach goes.
