My first thought: Why not a mix and let the user choose?

1. Alternative: as it is (in settings a button "export every board"
2. Alternative: a second button (print all marked moves/cube
decisions
3. Alternative: add a flag to ?! (i.e. p=print) for extra boards.
Or, as you suggested, into the annotation table. But let the user
click an icon for inserting the excape sequenz ;-).

The board should always be printed _before_ move/cube decisions?!
After?! In between?!

Just my two cent
