An alternative would be to use the bundle identifier for the preset

Ooo yeah, that's better I think, as long as every AU is properly defining
a bundle identifier. Unfortunately, I fear that many folks are not doing
this (although I don't really know one way or the other, just a hunch).
If bundle identifiers wind up being used as the basis of preset subfolder
names, then I would just say that Apple ought to strongly emphasize the
importance of defining a bundle identifier in the AU docs.
