The two values from those two providers will be combined into a single
value according to the 'resolution strategy' of the property. Right
now, we have only one strategy: the value that has changed most recently
wins.

Most of them, and properties without a specific owner in the platform
are indeed not very well supported.
This will work better with the QtMobility Publish and Subscribe API,
which doesn't have such a strong concept of ownership and the
ContextKit. The plan is to eventually merge QtMobility P&S and
ContextKit in a tasteful way.

To my current knowledge, that would be QMAFW, the Media Application
Framework (but I have to admit that I am not yet familiar enough with
the MeeGo architecture to be sure).

Yes, or something above GStreamer.
