Qui-Gon would be a front for Dooku or Palpatine, plain and simple. As THX pointed out a familar character known to the Jedi enchances the importance of the mystery. Also this allows the use for, "...was killed almost ten years ago." I always thought audiences would confuse Sifo-Dyas with Qui-Gon anyway, with that line and Obi-Wan's reference to him as "my master." If the only issue here is dialogue, Ewan McGregor has soundbites all over the place; Star Wars interviews in particular would be a good place to look for "Qui-Gon Jinn," whose name he mentions at least once in the RotS special features DVD (I don't know about the other 2 prequels). Again though, the issue is closure. It would have to be revealed at some point Dooku ordered the clones in Qui-Gon's name to create mystery and the Jedi would have to discover it. I have a couple of ideas but aren't sure if they'd be doable.
