Did the Western emperors ever practice separate burials of hearts & other
entrails, as the French kings did; see the works of E. A. R. Brown? If
so, that might be another area in which competition with the emperors
might have occued.

Yes they did. Henry II (if I remember well) died in Utrecht and his
heart was buried there. His corpse was shipped to Spiers, where the
Salien emperors had their tombes. The same holds tru for other
emperors.
