Perhaps you could use a less reactive electrophile to indirectly deliver the formyl group? Immediately the Bodroux reaction comes to mind, though you don't want to have to hydrolyze acetals on workup, so that is a bad example.
I don't know if your enolate will react with CO2, but that could get you to the aldehyde following acid reduction. If you found a suitable route to the imine, you could hydrolyze that to the aldehyde.
