Sorry, Godfrey. I was talking about film versus digital, and read your
post too quickly to see you had changed the subject,and indeed the whole
point!
I'll consider your question when I'm sober in the morning.

I said nothing about 35mm film in my thought experiment, John. Although
I disagree with you there too, from personal experience making 10x15 and
larger prints from both 35mm film and 6-8Mpixel digital captures. But
I'll leave that for another digital vs film thread.
I said two cameras, one with a 8Mpixel sensor of 24x36mm dimension and
one with 8Mpixel sensor of 16x24mm dimension. Sensors equal digital
cameras, not film.

Godfrey,
All else being equal, the 35mm will look sharper. Assuming both media
are able to do justice to each lens, and that each lens is able to
resolve N lpmm, and that the 35mm lens will fill the frame as much as
the 50mm (it's too late for me to work that out), the 35mm image will
need less enlargement.
