I agree with your thoughts, I'm sure the DPF will be OK it is just the Pressure Difference sensor that is unable to calculate the difference in pressure before and after the DPF therefore it cant decide how clogged or not-clogged it is.
Note that while it is broken it wont try and do any re-generation of the DPF so I would suggest a replacement sooner rather than later. I had to change the one on our Crafter for the same reason, easy job, and afterwards I used VAS to force a regeneration although I dont think that is vital - once fitted it should sort itself out.
We can get hold of one from TPS if you need, just let us know via email or a call on Monday morning.
