Negotiation can mean that A and B receive different messages, both stating
(in to/cc) that the other received the one they didn't. Sounds very fishy

The thing sounds as if it's 100% incompatible with S/MIME and other
signature mechansisms. Shouldn't that be mentioned in the draft's security
considerations section?
