Still, I can't see that precipitating the hydroperoxides is a good idea. Think about it this way-they always say never to distill ethers to dryness, this is because it concentrates peroxides until the solution is concentrated enough to go 'boom' and blind some poor bastard with flying glass, or wipe out a ? 1000 rotovap. Or both if your really unlucky. It just strikes me as a bad idea to deliberately concentrate the hydroperoxides, even if they aren't as outright vicious as the peroxides, they aren't anything you want around.
Inhibition of formation is far better than just stopping the process of formation at the hydroperoxide. Don't forget they are still explosives. If only low explosives rather than supersensitive primaries with a hair trigger, its still an explosive, in a bottle of ether, one of the most flammable solvents around in most labs bar carbon disulfide.
