Hello Don,
there is quite some more literature on using or misusing glosses in sign language research. In my dissertation you will find two chapters dealing with gloss transcription and lemmatisation: 
Konrad, Reiner. 2011: Die lexikalische Struktur der Deutschen Gebärdensprache im Spiegel empirischer Fachgebärdenlexikographie. Zur Integration der Ikonizität in ein korpusbasiertes Lexikonmodell. Universität Hamburg. Tübingen: Narr.
3.6.3 Identifikation lexikalischer Einheiten: Lemmatisierung (Identification of lexical units: lemmatisation),
3.6.4 Zur Praxis der Glossentranskription (Gloss transcription in use).

Since the dissertation is in German, you will find at least the dissertational abstract in English:
Konrad, Reiner. 2013: The lexical structure of German Sign Language (DGS) in the light of empirical LSP lexicography. On how to integrate iconicity in a corpus-based lexicon model (University of Hamburg, 2011). In: Sign Language & Linguistics 16, 1, 111–118.
The close connection between ID-glosses and annotation tools like ELAN is already explained in:
Konrad, Reiner / Langer, Gabriele. 2009: Synergies between transcription and lexical database building: The case of German Sign Language (DGS). In: Mahlberg, Michaela / González-Díaz, Victorina / Smith, Catherine (eds.): Proceedings of the Corpus Linguistics Conference (CL2009). University of Liverpool, UK, 20-23 July 2009. [Online resource; URL: http://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/publications/cl2009/346_FullPaper.doc].

Ehtical Issues of using glosses and the involvement of the sign language community is discussed in:
Dudis, Paul / Mathur, Gaurav / Mirus, Gene. 2009: Bringing a corpus in line with deaf communities. In: Proceedings from the “Sign Language Corpora: Linguistic Issues” Workshop 2009, University College of London.

Issues concerning linguistic analysis of sign language when using glosses ((and their inappropriateness or, once again, the danger of misuse) are discussed in:

So far, I've found a few sources with a brief discussion on it by Frishberg and Slobin, but I'm looking for an in-depth discussion of the issue.  My searches so far have not yielded useful results (although I've found results that are pro-glossing, unfortunately).
