The answer is that you cannot.
The only workaround I can think of it to add an account
metadata:
$query = new EntityFieldQuery;
$result = $query
->entityCondition('entity_type', 'node')
->entityCondition('bundle', 'foo')
->fieldCondition('custom_id', 'value', $custom_id)
->addMetaData('account', user_load(1))
->execute();
