Hi Mark,
You are correct, but in this case there's no editor (it's not for publication) and I get the distinct impression that the arranger doesn't want me to pester him with these sorts of questions -- he's one of those people who seem to believe that mind-reading ought to be a job requirement for copyists.
Anyway, I think I'm just going to write everything out using modern notation, under the theory that since he wants the appogiaturas written out, he's probably going for the least ambiguous notation possible.

I assume you realize that this really isn't an engraving question at all but a question of editorial judgment.
It's up to the editor to decide what is the purpose of the edition, who is the likely audience, what one's personal philosophy is, etc. If you're the editor, then you get to think those things through; if you're not, then you need to talk to whoever is.
If it were my project, I'd engrave everything for maximum readability for whoever I expect will be playing it. That means I'd abandon the notational conventions of the score if a modern equivalent is more clear.
