This is admittedly a problem, but I kinda hope that it will fix

I'm sceptical.

I certainly would make sense to allow volume changes shortly after a
stream died. The low-level technology in PA allows that, it's just that
g-v-c and pavucontrol currently do not make use of this.
In the meanwhile, is there anything I can do manually to effect this?
Command line is just fine with me in the interim.
You can just tag your streams properly via env vars, as already
pointed out, and then use the system sound slider:

$ PULSE_PROP='media.role=event' metacity
The code on http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/ApplicationProperties seems to
set this instead:

$ PULSE_PROP_media.role=event metacity

Does both work, or am I just confused?

Both work, but the latter can be problematic to set in the shell (e.g. bash does not like variables with a period in them).

And by the way, neither is mentioned in

http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/FAQ#WhatenvironmentvariablesdoesPulseAudiocareabout

Indeed, that should be updated. Feel free to make the changes :)
