What about making "Bag" list, seperate from the play queue and the
playlists.  It could be a more temporary playlist that could be
shuffled, but perhaps have some of the functionality of the play queue,
I'm not sure what though.

Personally, I see the current arragement providing me with everything I
need.  I use the play queue when I want a specific song played next, and
then let it fall back on the playlist I was using.
