Looking at this again, I'km not in love with the note. It's tagged as int, shouldn't that be enough?

Something like that works. I think it can be trimmed.

This is probably not ideal but something like [note="when used by itself, i.e. not when followed by ~思う etc. as a subordinate 
clause"] might remove the need for sense 2?

Yes, entries like this one are tricky because I agree we should be careful not to screw things up for people using jmdict for text 
glossing (with tools like rikai-chan, etc.)
Sense 2 is tricky because really the "you" should be within the brackets too, probably (the subject could be a third person)
I'm not sure sense 1 is an "abbreviation" of sense 2, really. I mean you could argue that it's "何だと言った?" but I'm not convinced.
If there was an eloquent way to phrase a note on sense 1 to explain the phrase only has this meaning when it's not used as a sub 
clause (not sure of the terminology here)...
