On our team, we generally try to give developers notice before disabling application IDs.
There's one case where we are being a bit more aggressive in shutting down accounts: spammers. If your application is an obvious spammer, we will disable your application IDs without warning. We had been warning users, but they were putting up applications faster than we could disable them. I understand your concerns about Google+, but I wouldn't let that hold you back from creating an account. I'm not aware of any cases where legitimate user accounts are being disabled (the user accounts currently in question are users under 13), but I know the team is hard at work to try to balance out the kinks in their system.
