Have you tried unpublishing the app (from the first account), then
publishing it anew from the second? I don't really expect that to
work :^), but there's nothing to lose by trying. Ordinarily, the
Developer Console won't let you upload an app whose package name
collides with an existing Market entry, but I'm not sure what happens
if the first one is unpublished.

Don't worry if it doesn't work; you can always republish from the
first account, and all you'll have lost will be a few minutes'
downloads.

Otherwise, a solution like this is probably your best option. The
Market isn't set up for real enterprise-level application lifecycle
management, not by a long shot.
