Hmm yes, the lack of certainty may be the main problem. It's the same as how to treat benched gallows. Similar stacked glyphs are found in Greek writings, in which case they have to be "unstacked" to read them. But they might as well be unique whole characters.
If I recall correctly, one reason some people are averse to the thought of positional variation is that it reduces the number of available glyphs to something well below what an alphabet would need. But if the thought of a substitution alphabet is abandoned, this should no longer be an issue.
