I don't think that this helps understanding all too much: again the
results are not what you'd get when trying to print the engraver.

This asymmetry does not help.

If you really must, you should probably use make-procedure-with-setter
in order to be able to use

(define (engraver-method engraver 'initialize) ...

and retrieve it with

(engraver-method ...

again.
