This covers both #2 and #3 in hhpmusic's post. These are all done using symbols from the master palette. These symbols do not export properly to musicxml.

I'm afraid solving this may take a lot more effort than you'd probably expect :-(. The reason is that simply dragging one or more symbols onto a note (or worse, placing staff text on top of an accent) does not necessarily provide the MusicXML exporter with information what this means, nor does the exporter know that the accent and the staff text are related.
This is feasible only for those cases where MuseScore itself knows the meaning of the symbols attached to musical elements. It is not feasible to support the generic case of any symbol from any font attached to any musical element.
Since I don't know much about what's under the hood, I'm curious if there is a way to simply say something along the lines of "Double-height left parenthesis," which is the name of the item from the mater palette, can be inserted in the score at this point. The Braille converter will then have the SUMFL name of the item and the location, so it can then decide what to do with this. I know you are the most knowledgeable MusicXML programmer working on MuseScore, but I would think there should be some MusicXML notation that allows for including other SUMFL items that are not explicitly defined by the program.
