Why would you want a "government bank" to hold your money?

Most of the bank in America is owned by private shareholders. They are NOT "government" bank. 

Ok let me rephrase. Government controlled banks.

Never probably, it's no in their interest, maintaining the actual status quo. You would kill yourself one day if the life of your human fellows depended on it ? Please note the government we have in our times works more like a machine, based on rationale not feelings.

What are the odds that some offshore bank starts accepting deposits in bitcoins? What are there incentives for doing or refraining from this?

they risk no bank licence. and they can (they must not plan it but they can do it always) run away with all bitcoins. so for a offshore bank with small traditional income bitcoin is perfekt.

its a chicken & egg theme...

i would not trust a offshore bank, just for some % rent and not anymore responsible for my wallet.dat.

if someone has this trust, its ok for me. i say good luck to him. have a nice time - but dont cry in my ears if it fails.
 

An off shore bank with an anonymous ATM-card would be heaven.

yes that would be fine. instant bitcoins, no risk.

simple.

when the legal status of bitcoin is clarified in a positive direction.

Then bank start accept bitcoin.

They have no reason to do it before. They earn enough with their business as it is. Why accept before and risk the bank licence? For what? There is no reason to take that risk.
