Yes, I am working on the problem you noted. I want to add a number of things to MuseScore specifically for banjo tablature so this problem seems like a good place to start.
To make things even more confusing, this fifth string also has it's own capo. Guitar players sometimes only capo some of the strings, which is another example. See Andy Mckee's Rylynn on youtube. So to cover every option I can think of, a MuseScore STRING needs it's own capo setting and starting fret. Both would be set to 0 in most cases. So, like you suggested, this problem may not be about determining if its a 5 string banjo, but rather configuring the strings properly at tab staff creation time/ or maybe 'select tuning' time. This is a good bug to learn the MuseScore code base. If I figure something out I will pass it by you before coding anything.
