We are currently running your suggestion (two instances of PG) in a production server, with no obvious problems attributable to the setup (we have seen some performance problems with one system, but those are likely caused by bad db/application design). In our case the two systems are running different minor versions (although we are planning to migrate them both to the latest 7.4.x). /Nis
