I've repaired doors before as suggested by jteneyck. I even made a missing rail for a small cabinet door. Take your time and the cuts will never be noticed.

I was thinking about a butt splice just outside of the original, or either straight or wedge tongue and groove (for which I have cutters), but two vertical lines right next to each other would be pretty visible from the front.
Your method, if I don’t botch it, would keep that single joint line (only) where it is. Need to study it some more.

Before cope and stick joinery was ushered in during the machine age I think all joints with a profiled edge were cut this way. Maybe the hand tool guys can chime in if they used coping planes to cut cope and stick joinery by hand. I don't know, but I'm sure I wouldn't want to cut many cope joints in the ends of hardwood rails.
