Yep, I've done all those things.

To clarify, the 1.6 correlation may be a red herring. When I used this
trick on my 1.6 G1 last year it worked... and the same apps still show
up as "Installed" when using my 2.2 N1. However, I can't make it
happen with additional apps now, using either phone/version.

So I suspect it's actually to do with either when an app was released,
or when you first tried the trick. I know your TreKing app has been
out for a long time, and the same is true for several of my apps where
this is working - they've been out a while, and I tricked the Market
into thinking I had purchased them before ~January. But with newer
apps - my next data point is one I released in April - I can't make it
work.

Either way, it's one more annoyance to the Market. Apparently this is
by design, but what the heck difference would it make if devs could
purchase that one copy of their own app??

Sorry to hijack your thread, Nathan! :^)
