I think that the correct level for this typographic practice to be
handled is in OpenType.  I am no expert on it, but I imagine that it
should be possible for a font to provide mappings for text in small
caps and all caps that do away with accents for text set in these
typographic contexts.

Indeed this is a solution. But it is not backwards compatible.
I do not expect font companies to release new fonts fixing this
issue. In addition, this requires to be able to enable an OpenType
feature, something that cannot be done with the present version
of fontspec.

Why not? Fontspec supports enabling arbitrary OpenType features.
