About 25 years ago, long before the arXiv option existed, a young colleague
of mine was stumped about what to do on precisely this question. The work
to be quoted was in note form and less than half-written. (Let's call her
Miss Smith for convenience as it wasn't his name. Confused? Good.) She
finally opted for a self-citation as "Smith X.Y. 1980 (priv. comm.)". In
effect, this colleague was claiming to be talking to himself. And it got
through the referees and was published.
