My only other question would involve whether or not there would be undesirable side-effects by having different identifiers for different versions of the application.

Are you (or anyone else) aware of any issues I should be aware of?

Well, for one thing, if you use different bundle identifiers you'll have different preferences files, so the applications won't by default share the same preferences.

TBH, I don't see the virtue in letting Spaces' behavior be the determining factor. If Spaces can't tell the difference between application versions with the same bundle identifier, that's a defect in Spaces (from your point of view), not a reason for deforming your application to gain a small usability feature.

OTOH, if your two "versions" really have a good reason for existing independently (beyond testing and an interim changeover period), then what you probably have is two different apps, and different bundle identifiers would make sense.
