"Naturally, it would make far more sense if their online ordering system handled this. A simple message that stated "Temporarily out-of-stock. Your credit card will not be charged until we ship" would satisfy the needs of both sides. But... they don't operate on such terms!"
Hey, they fixed it!! :) They've replaced the former "Access denied" message with a "backordered" notice. I just tried it. Advance orders are now accepted directly on the website: https://bookstore.gpo.gov/products/nautical-almanac-year-2023.
