Ok, so I had this wrong. ncgen handles this ok,
as per this comment in the ncgen man page.

    Note also that the words variable',dimension', data',group', and
    `types' are legal CDL names, but be careful that there is a space be-
    tween them and any following colon character when used as a variable
    name. This is mostly an issue with attribute declarations.
So all you need to do is change 'data:_FillValue...' to 'data : _FillValue...'

However, ncdump does not obey this rule, so it needs to be fixed.
