I didn't realize until now that this branch makes EQ slower for everybody, for what seems to be a relatively minor issue (i.e., more accurate diagnostics). Surely there is a better way.

Why not add an option to 'read' so that its returned value contains symbol-with-pos objects instead of symbol objects? That way, programs like the Elisp compiler that read objects can generate more accurate diagnostics without having to slow down EQ for everybody.
