With the caveat that I am NOT a tax expert, couldn't you have two transactions - sale of the VRTS derived from SEG, and then the cover of the VRTS short?

I'd do it in two accounts, tho, to minimize confusion. A tax accountant might tell that the short of VRTS today is a constructive sale of your SEG, but that degree of expertise is out of my league.
