I have touched this code for years so you are probably more familiar with
it now than I.

>From the top of my head the CullVisitor doesn't directly manage individual
state components like Uniform, just the high level StateSet.  The results
of the Cull traversal are passed on to the a osgUitl::StateGraph that
remains at the StateSet levels, it's only once this StateGraph is applied
during the draw traversal does the OSG's draw traversal behind to handle
the individual components of state like models, attributes and modes, and
this is done via osg::State.

What you are wanting to do is out of the ordinary, it's not something the
OSG was specifically designed to do.  Whether your approach is really
necessary or the best approach I don't know - I'm just trying to answer
questions.  When you do go beyond what the OSG was originally envisaged to
do you'll need to accept that you'll need to dig into code and figure stuff
out, I can only help you so much.
