Having a one-step accept/reject process would be clumsy and redundant if I

True, but how to do this in UI-frendly manner?
Another problem with the accept/reject process that makes it a non-starter
IMO is that the tree you are committing never exists as a fully formed tree
that you can build/test/etc. Factoring out into working directories allows
you to apply your build/test process to each state of the tree independently
before committing.
Don't forget that in darcs you commit (record) into the working directory
repository, so you can freely record your three patches, then get (clone)
the source tree into several other trees where you'd like to test patch
combinations and then just use unpull to delete appropriate patches which
you'd not like to test. You can pull them from the parent anytime in the
future anyway.
Once you test everything, you can push your changes up.
