I don't speak from experience, but I could see you having some issues toasting crushed grain: Since it is no longer attached to the kernel, the husks may heat and toast much more quickly than the kernel, giving you some burnt character. Then again they might not. Maybe a do a small trial batch just to see if no one else has a good answer.
Toasting and crushing by hand is an option. Won't give you a good crush, but should get the job done. Or toast it and go back and ask the LHBS to crush it for you.
