I don't know much about the topic as haven't read the devblog about new plans. However if even half what OP says is true and new bounty system is far from the one what was explained and voted in july 2011 crowd-sourcing prioritization - it will be total disaster and ruin another aspect of the game just when unified inventory and faction warfare are finally getting some repairs.
I just hope that CCP has learned enough not to reinvent the wheel when they have working solution available. I also hope that OP is missing some major information and that there is nothing to worry about. At least the warning bells are ringing again and should get some attention.

Rational = 10 guys shoot 1 guy and concord kill 10 guys.
Irrational = magic button surprise outside trade hub makes you red because you webbed some random guys ship 25 days ago or shot someone's jetcan.
...because this is what the dev blog says if you understand what you read.
"Kill Rights will now be created at the same time a Criminal flag is put on a player, but only for attacking in hi sec or podding in low sec."
"you can activate that kill right to make your target a suspect (i.e. give him a Suspect Flag, as explained in the crimewatch blog). This allows anyone in the vicinity of the suspect to engage him legally."

Simply put:
God buttons/features like "now people can't shoot you" *bling the magic wand* "now everyone can shoot you" don't belong to EvE. There are game mechanics which should be static, not something you can alter in middle of fight.

There are game mechanics which should be static, not something you can alter in middle of fight. They have always existed save the fact that instead of everyone it was the person you did it to and his corp. If you're referring to war decs how are they related to something what happens in middle of fight in blink of an eye? War decs are part of the static game mechanics and they work always the same. War decs don't suddenly turn off concord when your random opponent decides to click button. No, I'm not referring to wardecs, which as I understand aren't changing, but I assume you are talking about tradable kill rights. If so then I'll agree that some things about the way that is being done irk me. Seems to me that whatever the terms are they should be a permanent, 1 time trade to a new owner who has all the right of the originator rather than making it as free for all. but that is a personal opinion.
No I'm not talking about tradable kill rights. I'm talking about the magic button what gives everyone right to shoot you at will.

" If you have a kill right against someone, you can activate that kill right to make your target a suspect (i.e. give him a Suspect Flag, as explained in the crimewatch blog). This allows anyone in the vicinity of the suspect to engage him legally."
This button.

It is very bad idea to add any FFA triggers to hands of any player.
Much better approach would be to further iterate to who (all) you get kill rights when you get for example ganked or otherwise killed. Then trading those (maybe multible) kill rights forward to bounty hunters who then could possibly share them inside fleet they are flying in.
FFA button is very dirty workaround and should never end up to live server.
Also kill rights should be handed only from cases which cause concord intervention in hisec or death in lowsec.
