Still no problem for the IRS, the business purpose is there, but
does taking another passenger along violate the "incidental"

Not according to John Lynch's FAQ's on the FAA web site.

...examples that have been offered to explain what is meant by
". . . The flight is only incidental to that
business or employment . . .", [i.e., § 61.113(b)(1)] would be where the
holder of private pilot certificate uses the company aircraft for
transportation on an infrequent, non-reoccurring basis, and some of the
other company personnel elect to go along to attend a meeting. The flight
has nothing to do with that business or employment and is just a means of
transportation."
