One problem with this -- at least for now -- is that xarray currently doesn't allow coordinates on DataArray objects to have dimensions that don't appear on the DataArray itself.

Ah, then that would be the desire here.

It might also be surprising that this would make squeeze('y') inconsistent with isel(y=0)

The suggestion here is that both of these would behave the same. The MCVE was just for the squeeze case, but I expect that isel and sel would both allow non-dim coords to maintain the reference to their original dim (even if it becomes a non-dim coord itself).
