I'll continue to let DD trick-or-treat like every other kid and then swap out what she gets for safe treats and a present from the Great Pumpkin.

This is what we do as well.  My son trick-or-treats like the other kids and then when we get home it goes directly into the trunk of the car and he gets a cool toy and some safe candy. 

Personally I would not register for this, as I would not want to share this information publically. 

And on a side note - the candy we give out is safe for dairy, eggs, peanuts & tree nuts.  It is not safe for soy or wheat.  For all the kids around my area, this works for the other kids with allergies.

I'm going to be the devil's advocate here:  I have mixed feelings about this for a couple of reasons, you give strangers information about a medical vulnerability your child has (and info on a method on how to harm them) when your child asks for the non-food treat and yet again, it's not really inclusive (kid is different than friends/peers when trick-or-treating). 

I'll continue to let DD trick-or-treat like every other kid and then swap out what she gets for safe treats and a present from the Great Pumpkin.
