Is the latter paper an updated version of the former one?

Yes.

Also, in an email Michael Fig wrote ("My visit to VPRI"): "Ian also
redesigned the Id object model to make it simpler and more flexible,
which drastically reduced the size of libid."  -- Does this mean the
implemented Id is different from the one described in either of those
papers or is one of them up-to-date?

No and both, respectively (typos in the first paper notwithstanding).

What are the differences, or where
should I start to read the source to find out? (Or what are interesting
commits in SVN history?)

The new model is part of Jolt3, little of which is written (and none of which is in the repo yet). There's nothing particularly interesting or novel about it; the whole story can be reduced to this: a Pepsi object's 'type' is just a Jolt environment binding 'selectors' to lambdas.

Cheers,
Ian
