Three suggestions I can offer:

2) Try using relative repo paths (like ../foo.git) in .gitmodules.

Is that a 'try', or are those supposed to work?

4) Use

  [url "git@github.com:apk/"]
      insteadOf = "git://github.com/apk/"

in ~/.gitconfig allows changing the the actual url used. I use that
to be able to clone seemingly with the public github url but still
be able to push. You can use that to let an submodule point to
some other place where there is a clone of the submodule repo,
or another access method.
