Nah. The follower, who is the main actor of this contest, is treated as if he were the leader. The character who is normally the leader is treated as if he were a follower. Otherwise, the rules work normally.
Thus, the librarian's bodyguard is the source of the starting AP total, and doesn't pay 3AP to take unrelated actions. The librarian contributes his most relevant ability rating as APs and has to pay a 3AP penalty to take unrelated actions (like a magical augment).

I like this allot. It encourages the players to improvise. It can also work both ways. The players can scheme about how to separate the enemy leader from his followers.
