I'll try to build something based on your ahcp-config-uci.sh (unless you
have time to submit a patch to OpenWrt including your changes).

Of course, I hacked this in 10 minutes just to give the OP a solution to
his problem.

On the other hand, I do not understand why you are using ahcp-local.sh
to start and stop babeld: babeld is now able to detect when interfaces
go up and down by itself (you just have to provide it the names of the
interfaces you are interested in), so might as well start on boot and
forget it after that.
