It already happens with 8 peers that if you have lousy peers, the transaction doesn't reach the network on the first broadcasting. When sending to only one random peer it will likely be even worse. I guess the wallet could send out the transaction 'staggered' over time. It could pick a random new node, broadcast the transaction, wait a bit, pick a new node, broadcast the transaction until it is comes back through one of the other peers. Separating the transaction broadcasting (of the wallet) from, for example, the nodes used to request blocks from could make sense. Maybe doubly so if bloom filters are involved.
