Just a very minor comment: could you indicate which transliteration file you used? The IT, ZL and RF files are quite different, and this will show up especially when looking at individual words and comparing words.
Note that the version you extracted (1.7) is the version of the format, not the version of the file. All most recent files are format version 2.0, though the differences between these two can be ignored for most practical purposes.
On a more fundamental point, I am concerned that a "stateful one to many cipher" may be helpful when trying to decode text, but will not be able to explain how any plain text, when encoded using this, will have the properties that Marco Ponzi already pointed out.
