Is there a role for libraries in an Open Access model funded at the
production side, e.g. "author paid"?

Indeed there is, it's done already, and this role has several aspects
to it. Informing authors about this emerging market, supporting them
in their new economic role, delivering bibliometrical data for
evaluation systems based on publications (a system however that as a
social scientist I see as flawed), managing central publication funds,
negotiating agreements between publishers and institutions, running
complementary infrastructure and so on.
