I have not yet read Rav Hamburger on this but Michael are you sure of
the underlying reason?

AIUI KAJ eschewed the gimatriyah of 248 and cut back to emes only davka
to avoid public gimatryiah/qabbalah. If I am correct adding keil melech
ne'eman would undo this process.

Wolpoe's first law:
We often know what to do. But do not know why we do it.
