Thank you very much, Paul Davis and Andrew E. Markeev, for your responses - now I have reference implementations of both workarounds I mentioned in my question (intercepting key press to suppress accelerator / removing accelerator on widget focus), so this should help a lot no matter which route I end up taking. When I was writing the question, I was trying something similar to Andrew's approach, as it is felt less radical, i.e. you don't have to basically replace any standard GTK+ key handling code with your own - of course this also means it's less powerful if you do want to make radical changes. I think in the new "actions/menus/accelerators via Gio" paradigm of GTK+ 3 [1] it still works very similar to how Andrew described it, except you have to use gtk_application_set_accels_for_action for everything (there are other methods but they are declared obsolete). I wrote something up in [2] for people who come across this discussion in the future. One thing I don't like is that there are things in GTK+ such as AccelGroups and AccelMaps which should allow you to add and remove all accelerators in one batch, except there aren't any methods for doing so - the method I mentioned seems to be the only one for modifying accelerators. In general the new GTK+ 3 paradigm seems to be pretty closed-off, I will probably ask another question regarding this later. In any case, thanks for your help, if someone has a better idea still, they can post it here.
