That's a fun speculation (I like the "conspiracy theory" vibe as well).
Not sure I'd agree about this one though. I find the lyrics are rather jam packed into that song, hence being much more like a Stevie penned tune than a Lindsey one to my ears.
And since her earlier 70s songs had a tendency to be much snappier and poppier in their structure than her later songs, I don't think the length is too indicative. (If this song was released in the 80s or today I'd probably raise my eyebrows.) To me it just sounds like a Stevie-penned "Buckingham Nicks" song, which the two-part vocal harmonies play on. Did Lindsey leave a big mark on the instrumentation and arrangement? No doubt.
Edit: I've re-read your post more closely. A BN co-write that Lindsey gave her the credit (incl. songwriter royalties) for in lieu of Silver Springs being bumped. Fair enough--that is a good theory. (I stick by my take on the other points though.)
