An outside entity would not hold the same animosity toward Nenshi, and so I can't see a scenario where relocation would be on the table with a new ownership group.

No..the only reason to move the team is if there is no deal to build a new arena...kind of what this whole thing is about.
Any new ownership group isnt gonna give a lick about their standing within the Calgary community, whereas the current one may hold that above all else.
As for your last paragraph, are you suggesting Nenshi would be more accommodating to a different ownership group? I certainly would hope not but if so, he should resign immediately as that means this whole thing has become nothing but personal for him and there is zero room for that stuff in his position.
