undesirable side-effects by having different identifiers for
different versions of the application.
Are you (or anyone else) aware of any issues I should be aware of?
Well, for one thing, if you use different bundle identifiers you'll
have different preferences files, so the applications won't by default
share the same preferences.
TBH, I don't see the virtue in letting Spaces' behavior be the
determining factor. If Spaces can't tell the difference between
application versions with the same bundle identifier, that's a defect
in Spaces (from your point of view), not a reason for deforming your
application to gain a small usability feature.
OTOH, if your two "versions" really have a good reason for existing
independently (beyond testing and an interim changeover period), then
what you probably have is two different apps, and different bundle
identifiers would make sense.
