Hmm.
You have some rather hairy suggestions, and I haven't thought this 
through at all, but I think problems would be easier (that doesn't mean 
"easy" - just "easier") solved by moving the acc engraver to score 
level. This way all accidentals would be visible from each other.
Problems would then be:
- how to decide when the last acc is acked so that 2nd pass could start.
- how to position accidentals on the staves.

Sure thing. So for now we leave the accidental engraver as is, store the 
new accidental engraver at a safe place and carry on.
Bugs are documented.
