It's very interesting. Is there a precedent in Norwegian or Faeroese for [k:v] or [t_S] to appear to break hiatus? Note: you wrote "Elsewhere, the result is [tt_S]", and also that the two kinds of insertion "both [consist] of a long stop followed either by [v] or by affrication", but the actual examples using the affricate show just [t_S], not [t_S:] or [tt_S].
