Jordi Savalli has released an album of viol music called "pro pacem" and I would have thought that a man with his competence at music would pay attention to such basic Latin.
Is there any precedent anywhere for pro being used with an accusative?

It can be found in Medieval texts (as can anything ).

Lewis and Short note that this usage can be found in "late Latin":

An example taken from Egeria's Peregrinatio ad Loca Sancta (end of the IVth c.)
Edit. The above might not be a good example since the word monazontes appears to be invariable in the Peregrinatio.Et quoniam pro monazontes, qui pedibus uadent, necesse est lenius iri: ac sic peruenitur in lerusolima ea hora, qua incipit homo hominem posse cognoscere, id est prope luce, ante tamen quam lux fiat.
