That is why the L minhag is to sell the kelim to the goy for Pesach, and
not to tovel them afterwards; since they didn't physically come into the
goy's possession, he was unable to use them for treif, so they weren't
even brushed by this peripheral tum'ah.

Anecdotal data:
Our Magid Shiur (of the (pre-Daf Yomi) Mishna shiur), Rav Dov Zelaznik
shlita (Rov of the Oruch LaNer shul in Ramat Shlomo) recounted how -
some 40 years ago - he saw a very long line outside the Viznitz Keilim
Mikveh.

He was informed that the Rebbe had accidentally included in the
Mechiras Chometz contract that all vessels INCLUDING those that need
toiveling are sold to the goy.

As a result, all relevant keilim had to be toveled after Pessach.
