If something cannot be known for logical reasons then it does not fall within the scope of omniscience. I also point this out to my Calvinist friends who think God knows the future. God cannot know the future because it does not yet exist and you cannot have knowledge of something that does not exist. Likewise you cannot have knowledge of something that logically cannot exist, like a one-sided coin. So your argument is correct, God cannot logically have meta-knowledge. That does not disprove God or His ability to know everything that it is capable of being known.
The only being I could conceive of recognizing as a legitimate god is one which was more powerful than logic. Anything less than that can, given enough time, be revealed as an ultimately natural process. If a god is to impress me as much as the Christian God impresses Christians, it has to have a quality that absolutely must be unique to it. Being able to bend logic itself to its will is the minimum which would fit that criteria.
