Can you not add an extra RewriteCond to each rule to check if you are
or aren't in the 'one particular home dir' or not? For example:-

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/homedir/.*              <-- This
rule only applies if we're in /homedir/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/homedir/.*              <-- This
rule only applies if we're not in /homedir/, note the exclamation
mark.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
