Also, the curved seat tube for the stoker would make it hard to fit a front mech in the conventional position, so I suspect that's why the changer and triple chainrings are on the Captains BB. Do you have to use a stronger spring for the rear derailleur with this set up? I suspect the chain bounces around like crazy.

Regarding the chain line on the tandem, its correct. We have a 1949 SiNGER that's set-up the same way. Advantage is that you can run large/large and small/small = more versatile gearing. The Nivex/Simplex combo on our tandem seems to handle it excellently.
