How do I broach the subject with my cousin-in-law's family that I feel that they might not be giving him enough credit, and that it might be worth considering his feelings a bit more, without coming across as accusatory? And could I simply be way off-base here? Thanks in advance.

It's difficult tbh. Whilst we should speak up for those who may not speak up themselves it's also difficult because they're family of your partner and you don't want to make it difficult for your partner. Have you tried speaking to your partner about it to see if he has ideas?

Yes, he suggested phrasing it to his aunt as a question: "When he and I are hanging out, I've noticed his body language becoming more closed when people mention his name outside the room. Do you think this could be the case?" Still seems kind of confrontational to me though.
