That's kind of what I thought. The only way to get a strong joint with wood glue (type Titebond) is to taper it slightly so the surfaces are wedged against each other as you tap it in. And no, I wouldn't want to cut such a joint either.

Like you said in a previous post, you'll need something that fills the joint, and it doesn't need to shrink either.
