Just a quick follow-up on this, in case anyone else cares.  My conclusion
is that it's not supported.  Googling around I found this pysqlite bug
report:

It's not quite on target, since it's trying to use substitution for
non-SQL variables in an SQL statement, but I think the principle is the
same.  The PRAGMA statement is not really an SQL statement, so the
variables in it are not SQL variables.  So this is not-working as
designed, I think.
