I'm just about to proceed with a multi-partition installation like
this, but I'm wondering about how it will interact with Time Machine.
Can I use the same TM volume for both Beta and Production?

"It just works".

I tested this recently; my MBP's hard drive exploded while on vacation. Upon return, I dropped a new drive in and booted from the install disk, repartitioned the drive in Disk Utility, and then selected "Restore from Time Machine" in the installer.

Time Machine restored my boot partitions just fine, though I did need to reboot back into the installer after the first restore.

The user partition was just slightly more tricky. Namely, Time Machine won't restore a non-boot volume as a whole volume. It will instead restore the entire volumes contents to a folder wherever you tell it to.

One short 'sudo mv /Volumes/Data/Data/* /Volumes/Data/' command later and my machine was fully restored to working order.
