Your method sounds good to me CD. Sawdust would work too.
I think for what you described your repair will work far better than the toothpick solution and will be plenty strong enough.
Glenn's method is the strongest way though.It may be trickier to use Glenn's method in the recesses that are cut out for the lollipop hinges. If your repair doesn't hold it's not a big deal to change it.

EDIT Removed the repeat due to Glenn types faster than me.
