I'm not trying to be a vigilante traffic cop and prevent him from passing, but I don't think it's reasonable that he should expect me to also violate the posted limits just because he's an impatient speeder.

You should be accelerating to pass when entering the left lane. It should be taking you 7-10 seconds to pass like a passing maneuver on any untwined road.
So yes you should break the “law” to improve road safety for everyone or choose to sow down to the prevailing speed of the person in front of you.
