If by DispVM, you mean the DispVM template, then that's exactly right.

When you open a terminal in a disposableVM, can you see the 
.qubes-dispvm-customized
file that you created in the dispVm template? (When I customise a dispVM
Template I always create a file that isn't hidden, listing the changes.
That way I can be sure that subsequent changes are being captured.)

If this is the case, then it's possible that your application is
checking some feature that ISN'T common between the disposableVMs - disk
signatures, MAC address perhaps?
