Ok, I did a proof of concept:

Obviously it has graphical issues, but technically it seems pretty simple.

I really like Steve's idea, but will it cause browser issues?
We already use this concept on a number of navigational templates, such as as [[Template:Capital cities of the European Union]]. It should be possible to make the template degrade nicely if JavaScript is not switched on.
There seems to be some documentation on how this works here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NavFrame#Collapsible_tables
I don't know what happens if JavaScript is off, but what we would probably like is to see just the normal disambig text, without the transcluded page. As long as that happens, the user is no worse off without javascript than they are now.
When JavaScript is off, you get both the normal disambig text and the transcluded disambig page, without the hide/show "link". (Tested using Firefox 2.0) I'd think that just the disambig text is what we'd like.
It would also be good, I think, to default to not showing the transcluded disambig page...currently it defaults to showing it.
Also, it would be good if the disambig footer were hidden when showing the transcluded disambig page.
By the way, this is a truly brilliant idea!
