Wow, that sounds painfully clunky. It sounds like she's trying to increase and cable at the same time. I don't have the pattern (although it is on my wishlist) but from what you've written here, I need to go home and test knit the repeat before I can give any advice. I wish I had my knitting at work to try it. Without test knitting the section, I think the idea of using a needle cap is a good one.
Also, have you checked on Ravelry to see if anyone there has a fix. Sometimes folks will list their modifications or quick fixes in their comments on the patterns.
