...but I'm really not sure how you interview for either of those skills without letting people know that they should run a mile.
Maybe this is naive, but I think it's probably better to be up front about this? A major reason behind the attrition on some of the teams I've been on is that management completely misrepresented the team+job and people left when they found out the truth.

Many people would call it naive. I think it's ethical.

Oh, I agree completely that companies *should* be up front about this, I just don't know how to persuade them of that. It's both hard to get people to update their self-image, and to persuade them to do anything that makes hiring harder.

It's hard striking the right tone, but we try to do this, and I think it's a net positive. It really doesn't help the company to hire a developer who dislikes the environment, and leaves within a year.
