Backward Small Caps

[r6d2]

However, I like to work in the editor with a different font and size than the one I’m compiling to, so this means I will need to both change the small-cap words into the “final” font and then have them “preserved”.

Yes, that’s the compromise you have to deal with by the current implementation.

Ideally, I must say I think small caps should be just passed-through as their true small cap glyphs — not sure why they aren’t.

I don’t know, really. AFAIK this has to do with some Mac OS/OpenType limitations, as AmberV responded to you on the other thread.

Small Caps are a world on their own regarding typography. It’s not just the height, but the width, the kerning and whatnot. So if you really want to enforce them, I guess the only way to go is using the aforementioned wordaround.
