I assure you, it will.
Especially (for us, now) b) will become a convert-ly-problem... :-/

Well, I just thought of a simple and effektive solution for a):
Just add the same alias to ALL context and refer to that alias to get to
the innermost context. The bad thing, ofcourse, is that you afaics have
to set the properties right after the context is created - but that is
usually not a real problem (at least not with accidentals).

\include "paper26.ly"

thickStems = \notes \property Current.Stem \set #'thickness = #5.0
noStems = \notes \property Current.Stem = \turnOff
mel = \notes \transpose c''' {c d e f}

\score {
  \notes <
      \context Staff=sa { \mel }
      \context StaffGroup <
          \thickStems
          \context Staff=sb { \mel }
          \context Staff=sc { \noStems \mel }
          \context Staff=sd { \mel }
