If that really happens it would break a lot of apps for a lot of people - it'd be interesting to find out what your users are seeing. But probably no longer related to use of Xcode...there's an apple-cdsa list for discussing the security architecture (and the guy behind code signing hangs out there, he'd definitely want your bugreport number for that issue).
Cheers,
Graham.
