Rather like his worshippers, eh?

Firstly, they can get any alynx stuff they want if they know the secret. (OK, this is rare.)
Secondly, it seems reasonable to improvise some of these, for example Hunt at Night could be a Hunting feat.

It's probably a virtue (i.e. initiates and devotees should express it).

I'm not opposed to dual initiation either, but wouldn't allow this one for the reasons you state.

I don't think there are really extenuating circumstances in Heortling law. The only way there would be is if the victim was responsible for the possession, which isn't an extenuating circumstance per se, but a counter-charge which could help balance things out.
But I do think it's something you can absolve yourself of (albeit with difficulty).
