can't we add your variant to the distribution (font part or tex live)?
No, but I'll see if I can convince Jacko to remove the oldstyle figures from the monospace PFB default encoding. It is even possible that the wrong values are wrong in the OTF font as well, there are duplicate sets of metrics in the OTF. I'll check.
Not so sure. Perhaps you should not set the font on linux at all. I had to do perform quite some magic to get a usable lmtypewriter on linux, and I doubt many people will want to go through that (on X11, not setting any font is much better than attempting to set a non-existant one).
scite ignores that, at least on windows, it then uses its fall back font
Not on X11. I had SciTE ask for a non-existant one, and what I got was, in fact, a bold-italic sans-serif font. That's because X11 never ever returns a "font not found" error, you always get 'something'. It is possible for a program to work around this, but most programs don't bother.
