I'm not completely following these two bits:

-- "you just add the sign to the merkle proof, extending it 1 step"

In what sense can one manually "add" a signature to a merkle proof? Not sure how this is supposed to work.

-- "The proof still resolves to the event ID"

If, as you seem to stipulte above, you "submit the hash of the id-+sig", then the proof will not resolve to the event ID. It will resolve to a hash of the id+sig. Neither the ID nor the sig can be reconstructed from that hash. However, if you already have the id+sig, you can reconstruct the hash from these.
