My guess is that it won't work. I unpublished an app several months ago,
and it still shows in my developer account.
I think you will have to rename your .apk, publish the new one and then
modify the old one and add a message encouraging users to download the
new one. You can always give them a dialog box with a link to get the
new one.

Have you tried unpublishing the app (from the first account), then
publishing it anew from the second? I don't really expect that to
work :^), but there's nothing to lose by trying. Ordinarily, the
Developer Console won't let you upload an app whose package name
collides with an existing Market entry, but I'm not sure what happens
if the first one is unpublished.
Don't worry if it doesn't work; you can always republish from the
first account, and all you'll have lost will be a few minutes'
downloads.
One idea we had was publish both. The existing one would get a nag
screen that tells the user that this app is no longer supported and
directs them to download the new version.
Otherwise, a solution like this is probably your best option. The
Market isn't set up for real enterprise-level application lifecycle
management, not by a long shot.
