Well, one thing just jumping out at me is

     ((process-acknowledged translator)
      (for-each
       (lambda (grob)
[...]
                    ;; reset list to prevent multiple processing.
                    ;
                    ; TODO: I don't understand why I can kill *all* the list
                    ; after having processed *one* grob.
                    ; What happens to any other annotated grobs (at the same 
time)?
                    ; I know it is possible to annotate multiple post-events, 
for example.
                    (set! all-grobs '())))))))
       all-grobs))

That's just garbage.  If you want to stop processing the list in spite
of having started it with for-each, you need a non-local jump
(catch/throw).

The list processed by for-each has no connection at all with what you
store in all-grobs inside of the loop.  And it does not appear like you
even bother resetting all-grobs at all when you don't reach the
conditional passage inside, letting it grow at will.
