I can't say that I fully understand the mechanism by which Dvorak- 
Qwerty is supposed to work, but TM isn't alone in having problems  
with it:

If I understand correctly, Allan's already using it. What he needs is  
-[NSEvent charactersIgnoringModifiers:(int)modifiersToIgnoreMask].  
Also, an obvious solution such as:

if [event modifierFlags] & NSCommandKeyMask
     [event characters]
else
     [event charactersIgnoringModifiers]

... may not work for TM's purposes because of the other translations  
performed inside charactersIgnoringModifiers.
