Haha...perhaps I could have phrased that better. I had tried several other capos for the past couple of months (eg. Kyser, Shubb), with very poor results. The Amicus it seems is "unforgiving" if you try to get away with those capos, even with proper fretboard radius...in terms of tuning/intonation. Anyway, take what you will from my experience.
Best.

Yep, it does. Fits above the nut, just like it does on my other guitars.

Hi Triumph -- just responded to your PM. But, one thing i want to add here is that although I tune down 5 half-steps as you mentioned, the bigger octave strings on a standard 12-string set does make capo-ing more of a challenge. That would be the one thing to be aware of if you regularly use a capo on the Amicus. For me, the G7th doesn't do it for me in my scenario. I have to use a custom-built Elliott with special padding. I tried different capos for months before I finally found the one that works.
Having said that, the advantages (at least for me) of using regular strings and tuning to "A" far outweigh the minor issue with using a capo.
