I am also interested in glyph dependencies, weak word-to-word relationships, positional patterns, and the differences between Currier A and B.

I don't understand how it's possible to explain these without actual tests. The anomalies you list are quantitative. It's not just "low character entropy", but a specific range of character entropy, specific binomial type/token length distributions, etc. I think arguing that method X can lower entropy or unskew the length distribution is of little value unless it's possible to model the results and show whether the resulting entropies and distribution are similar to Voynichese.
