If I were you I'd talk to the framebuilder about brazing on a stainless steel cable stop from Nova Cycle Supply. They have a divers helmet stop that might not look too bad but the hole would need to be drilled out to a larger size. Or, a standard stainless split stop that has been cut down to a length similar to the other two stops and then polished would closely match. The cutting and polishing of something that small wouldn't be much fun but it could be done.
The frame was chromed after the cable guide was brazed on in the first place so there is some bare steel there to work with. The framebuilder wouldn't have to remove much, if any, to get the new guide to stick as long as he is careful as Andy mentioned above.
