Well, it took about 10 days, but unfortunately the suspect egg finally started to go bad. Never did develop blood vessels. Oh well, better than a good egg going bad, right?
Since it took so long for it to go bad, I had to deal with removing it from the bunch, and it was stuck real good to three other eggs. I wanted to avoid having to drain the contents and cut away the leftover shell (yuck), so I tried something different (dunno if it's ever been done before).
I used some unflavored dental floss, slowly working it back and forth at the surfaces where it was glued to the other eggs. Took about 10 minutes for the whole process, but it worked! No breaches in any of the eggs involved.
I'm wondering if using waxed floss would have been an easier way to go
