I would live a firm cite for that, because it'd be a game-changer for me - but I've not seen anything on the CBP website along those lines.
I do believe that if you get a visa, you can head to a registration centre and revalidate your GE though without having to reapply.

Under are there any waivers?
Yes, under the new Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security may waive these new travel-related VWP restrictions if the Secretary determines that such a waiver is in the law enforcement or national security interests of the United States. Such waivers will be granted only on a case-by-case basis. As a general matter, categories of travelers who may be eligible for a waiver include:
Individuals who have traveled to Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, or Yemen who maintain current Global Entry program membership.

UK citizen with conditional approval now.
Applied for my access code with UK Border Force July 28, revived my code on the 30th. Applied for Global Entry that day (a Sunday, so probably no movement then), and got my approval on August 16th.
Tried to schedule an appointment at Bowling Green but there's nothing there, but was able to get one from mid-September at the Washington enrolment centre. Here's hoping it's as painless as the application process so far!

Anybody applied in September? I submitted on GOES, a little over a week ago and I'm still waiting.

So to recap on the current information I have. The average days from Applies GOES/TTP to get conditional approve varies a great deal. Here are the data points I collected in this thread:
2013 the waiting days are:
20/5/24/31/36/26/18/20/19/19/51/50/51/45/32/49/50/42/49/20/35
There was a long period waiting due to government shut down or whatever reason there was. So excluding approve from that period, the average waiting is 18 days.
There is no data for 2014.
In 2015 the waiting days are:
5/3/14/6
The Average is 7 days!!
In 2016 the waiting days are:
8/67/20/10
Average 26 days. Excluding the extreme data the average is 13 days.
In 2017 there is only two samples:
16 days/2 weeks (assume 14-16 days?).
Surprise most people in the thread applied in 2013 and none in 2014. The report from 2015 and 2016 is really scarce. How about people applied in 2017? Come on. Post your experience here!
