Just bootleg the neutral
I can see how 'modifying' the unit by adding a control transformer to provide the necessary 120V control voltage would violate the UL listing...you now have a _different_ system that has not been evaluated by UL.
With that said, I can't see adding a control transformer as making a bad system that will suddenly 'halt and catch fire'. The supplier doesn't want to take responsibility for the change, which means that the change (however reasonable) would void their warranty, and the AHJ will no longer have a valid listing to rely on to decide that the installation is acceptable.
IMHO a local control transformer providing 120V for the control wiring is the 'correct' approach, but pulling a neutral might be the cheapest way to install a system with all the appropriate paperwork in place.
