I suggest you check your wiring for chafes/shorts.

My concern is that the ignition may think it's in the ACC position (even with the key removed) and over an extended time it could discharge the battery.

Probably not your ignition switch ACC contact itself.
IF no shorts in wiring, it is most likely just the "key-in-ignition" switch that senses key is inserted in mechanical key core, even if the key has not yet touched the ignition switch itself. Meaning buzzer goes off but acc contacts are really still open = no current draw.
However, if buzzer goes off while un-attended and you have a weak battery, that might be enough to drain your battery.
IF you really think it is the ignition key itself, my brand-new unused Beck Arnley PN 201-1410 ignition switch, still in box one is for sale (
