I was thinking the same things as thejeff. It could easily become a messy and confusing fix. Lots of special cases, like Bandar Log and the Black Hawks, will make it much less useful.

Personally I would imagine that a better approach would be along the lines of giving the elephants some special morale rules. Perhaps someting like QM suggests. Perhaps the threshold for being damaged causing a morale check should be lower, and perhaps all morale checks for units involving elephants should be at the elephant's morale, rather than the average. This could all be built into an "Easily Panicked" attribute that would be given to elephants and might apply to other units too (although I can't think of any at the moment).

I also think the idea of using repel against elephants sounds good. Actually I would say improving the effect of pikemen and longspears would be a major improvement to the game in general. It seems funny that they are not particularly good even against cavalry. But that is a whole separate issue I guess.
