In other words, a 14mm x 1.4x becomes a true 19.6mm lens - hence irrespectively of sensor size - and not an "equivalent to XY mm" on a given format. The question to be answered is whether such a combo of lens and TC will give an image circle covering 24x36mm format or not.

No, the 14mm x 1.4x will become a 19.6mm f/4 in itself, whichever camera (if
any) you put behind it.
In case the resulting image will be large enough to cover the 24x36mm format
(not yet confirmed), it will project a FOV corresponding to a 19.6mm f/4
lens.

wouldn't the lack of a 1.54 crop factor that APC-S sensor cameras have
over 35mm frame more-or-less cancel out the 1.4x converter effect so
that a DA14mm + 1.4TC on a 35mm frame would end up being a 14/1.54 x
1.4 = 12.7mm FOV on full frame?

If this is true, is it possible that the converter will allow DA
lenses (that don't quite cover full frame) to cover them adequately
(albeit at 1.4x the focal length). This would be most beneficial to
the faster DA lenses that don't cover full frame:
DA 14mm f/2.8 (21mm equiv. FOV on APS-C) would become a 21mm f/4 on full frame.
DA* 16-50mm f2.8 (with 24-75mm equiv. FOV) would become a 24-70mm f/4
on full frame
DA* 50-135mm f2.8 (with 75-197mm equiv FOV) would become a 70-190mm f4
on full frame
