The problem is that it is not a good idea to have different frameworks directly using the same device. PC/SC is an "industry standard" and, I think, should be used wherever possible (instead of re-inventing the wheel). I think the best solution would be that libchipcard2 can use the PC/SC API instead of directly talking to the device. libchipcard2 does more than PC/SC so cannot directly be replaced by pcsc-lite in an application. Maybe the high level API of libchipcard2 (the card services ?) can be modified to use pcsc-lite if present, or openct (another card framework) if present, or its own card access framework. I am reassigning the bug to libchipcard2. I am also the upstream maintainer of pcsc-lite and do not plan to implement what you suggest. That would be a major change/redesign in pcsc-lite.
