I'm just coming in at the end of this conversation, and trying to
understand it, but I'm wondering if this would not work:

Have a default language (say english) and every content object is in
that language. Then within the same nav node have additional dmHTML
(or a custom multilingual dmHTML object with a field for "language")
objects with other languages.

If you had a session variable (or something) that told you what
language the user prefered, you could easily customise the table of
contents custom tag to show the correct language where possible?

Would this not be a solution? I guess the problem would be that the
navigation would be built based on the default language, not the users
preferred language? Maybe to get around this problem you could make a
naviagtion customtag/rule that would show a teaser display method
rather than just a title? Something like the childlinks rule.

Or maybe i'm taking crazy pills? 

And why would the PLP step for each language be so difficult?
