Produces three Γ with lualatex TL2018.
First one is missing char. And I can't reproduce bad example with the
wrong symbol because it was a huge file and I can't find it now.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\begin{document}
\Gamma $\Gamma$
\Gamma $\Gamma$
\end{document}

Sorry, I think I am missing something here but I still do not see your point.
If someone forgot to write $\Gamma$ instead of \Gamma
and \Gamma is a \mathchar, then \Gamma is printed outside math mode with the
appropriate \textfont. But if he would have written $\Gamma$, basically the
same thing
would have happened:
The Gamma would still be written with the same \textfont, so the same slot + the
same font => The same character.
How can this silently become another character? The only difference is that
there are no mathon/mathoff nodes
around it and \everymath is not called.
Is the problem that `\everymath` would have changed your math fonts but this
doesn't happen for non math mode mathchars?

What does \mathaccent has to do with this? Are you concerned that a \mathchar
might be implemented using \mathaccent in
other packages?

I do not think that this would be a bad idea, I just do not see why you need it
in this situation.
But if this LuaTeX team does not want to implement this, you might be able to
detect such characters by scanning
for glyph nodes using a math font and not being inside a mathon/mathoff pair
