My current thinking is to cope a small piece (2 inches or so) to those butts
and have a return miter cap the end of that small piece. So the walls with
no crown would actually have this small piece on them. This seems to me to
be nicer than just butting to the wall.

What would ordinarily be done here?

Just butting to the wall is what's normally done.
If I understand what you are doing, you are turning the mold along the
wall with a short piece and then butting to the wall with the
return.....? I've never had anyone ask me to do that but if the look
appeals to you, go for it.
