O.K. I'm a little closer to a solution.
Instead of using a sentinel value inside the switch I check the index of the section to see which itteration I'm on. The problem now is how to close my table. Currently the </table> appears regardless of the <table> tag. This can create some dandy layout problems.
Is there a way to check if I am on the last itteration of a section, or a way to set a sentinel variable inside a section so I can tell if its code was run?

Here is the code I am currently using. If someone else has a better way of listing related objects I'd love to hear it.

{*Related Objects List*}
{section name=total show=count($node.object.related_contentobject_array)|gt(0)}
{section name=Rel loop=$node.object.related_contentobject_array}
{section-exclude match=$:item.contentclass_id|eq(5)}
{switch match=$:index}
{case match=0}
<table width="150" border=0 cellpadding=3 cellspacing=0 class="related-information-table">
<tr>
<td class="related-information-title">Related Information</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><ul>
<li><a class="related-information-link" href={concat("/content/view/full/",$:item.main_node.node_id)|ezurl}>{$:item.name}</a></li>
{/case}
{case}
<li><a class="related-information-link" href={concat("/content/view/full/",$:item.main_node.node_id)|ezurl}>{$:item.name}</a></li>
{/case}
{/switch}
{/section}
</ul></td>
</tr>
</table>
{/section}
{*End Related Objects List*}
