There is an old paper from the 1970s by Maronna (I think in the Annals of Statistics) that showed the breakdown for MANOVA was pretty poor, so I'd be cautious about assuming robustness.

MANOVA is very robust, so I would do it anyway, explain the caveats on 
any conclusions and present some nonparametric tests on each variable 
with the ones you want to use as control variables. A signed rank test 
might be OK. Or some Mann-Whitneys. I can't figure out how you could 
incorporate all your variables into one nonparametric test.
