I put together a concept for a more advanced Pattern-along-path lpe a while ago. I just looked it over and brushed it up, and I think it addresses this problem (or could be adapted to do so). The svg is attached.

we could have lpe generated markers, more or less like what "pattern along path" does, with improved placement of the pattern (= markers), but I don't like this solution, as it is not natural to use lpe to do a "stroking decoration"...
This could be done by a more general LPE that puts a path multiple times along another path oriented by the tangent to that path.
Apply this LPE on path A. This LPE's has a path B parameter along which instances are put. There is also an array parameter listing the locations where path A should be put along path B. That would be convenient for tangent/perpendicular paths too. See it as a more general 'pattern along path' LPE. Shouldn't be too hard to make.
