Should there perhaps be something like ...

newForeignPtrWithUserData :: Ptr a -> Ptr b -> FunPtr (Ptr a -> Ptr b -> IO ()) -> IO (ForeignPtr a)

... where the second argument is a "userData" pointer that gets passed on to the finalizer?
That would correspond to the usual solution used by C programmers.
