Yes, do remember to check, as the consequence could be serious for your users:
http://nubinewsblog.blogspot.com/2010/09/how-to-fix-download-error.html In the worst case (at least on Froyo), the user would "fail to download" the older version of my app, but does not press "cancel download" button. Then, if he tries to download the new version, his Android market will be permanently stuck. Any time he tries to download *any* app, he will get tons of errors about "failed to download" of my app, and he cannot download *any* app. The only solution seems to Settings -> "Manager Apps" -> Market -> Clear Data. This kind of sucks, as I always had the highest regard for the Android Market app and server (despite the complete lack of support and mysterious rating/stats ...).
