Maybe because Gedcom does not support role on event ?

You want to see two persons linked as witnesses via a source ?
Where is the event ? You are witness of an event, not of a person.
Source is the transcription of the event.

Then maybe edit the transcription into a Note, add this note into a 
source, use this source for validating the shared event ?

I still think that using Gedcom for your migration is not a good 
solution. From Access database, you could try to use:

* SQL databases (Gramps-connect like)
http://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=GEPS_013:_GRAMPS_Webapp
* Advanced scripts like http://www.cohsoft.com.au/tmg2gramps/
* Web forms on a server, generating a valid XML file
* plugins/lib/libgedcom.py and plugins/export/ExportGedcom.py local 
modifications
