I see what you're getting at-- but it's not so much any sort of conflict,
and more poor documentation on Google's part.
example.com ("@") can never be a CNAME, but it's not really relevant anymore
since GAE no longer apparently supports 'naked domains':
http://code.google.com/appengine/kb/commontasks.html#naked_domain
"""Due to recent changes, App Engine no longer supports mapping your app to
a naked domain. If your domain registrar supports URL redirects, you can
redirect from http://yourdomain.com to e.g http://www.yourdomain.com or
http://appid.yourdomain.com.
For instructions on how to configure a redirect for your Google Apps domain,
please see the Google Apps FAQ on URL forwarding
(redirection)<http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en-in&answer=61057>
."""
so, the best you can do is CNAME www.example.com to ghs.google.com , and
hope namecheap offers some sort redirection so that just 'example.com'
works.
Then you should have no problem adding the MX records described in the
support article.
