Where true orthographic views aren't working, you can probably approximate one by using a very narrow field of view and moving the camera further away. A FOV of 1 degree looking down on a typical landscape should be virtually indistinguishable from an orthographic view. I suppose it depends how accurate it needs to be. You might be able to go much smaller with your angles, but I would be careful in case other bugs crop up - such narrow FOV values aren't tested very often.
