Would someone who actually knows or can find out care to comment on whether the insurance would cover such "officials" if they started engaging in direct, large-scale, financial management and/or the direct supervision of those who were doing so, in addition to standards activities?

The ISOC Directors & Officers insurance presently covers the IETF, IESG, IAB, IRTF, IRSG and IANA (IETF related) "officials", and the RFC Editor. It extends to the level of Working Group chairs and also covers the NomComm process (including Recall Committees). This coverage would extend to financial management and/or direct supervision of those doing so in addition to standards activities, so long as the IETF was an unincorporated entity and was operating under the "umbrella" of ISOC (as you are today). Should the IETF incorporate as a separate entity, it would (obviously) no longer be covered under the ISOC insurance policy, but would require its own.
