I think what could be done in this topology is to mark the P2-PE1 and P3-PE1 links with special colour (say green for the sake of this example).
1) Now as for the RSVP-TE signalled LSPs between P routers (e.g. between P1 and P4)
Those would be set up to exclude green colour when signalling their detour LSPs.
[edit protocols mpls label-switched-path LSP_P1_TO_P4]
set fast-reroute exclude GREEN
2) only LSPs to PE1 will have no such constrain configured for their detour LSPS.
And thus will be able to use the P2-PE1 and P3-PE1 links in order to protect the last leg of the path towards PE1
