I've seen it fail both ways. In fact, I've seen projects fail all 3 ways. With VFP devs only, with New language devs only and with a mix of devs from both sides. Some failures have been more spectacular than others. And more expensive.
I've only been involved with 1 project like that, That was with the mix of developers. The "new" guys couldn't get all the functionality of the Fox apps implemented, even when they decided that some of that functionality was not needed anymore.
