Wow! Thanks for the response. These are all things I've thought about but I managed to brush aside my concerns. I wonder how many of these issues would go away if data was stored outside of the image in something like Gemstone/S or even just a database?

My data is stored in CouchDB. I've written a sort of poor-man's ORM for it and have filled up my image with model objects a few times when I failed to properly detect cycles in the object dependencies. But Gemstone/S is probably different, I didn't really get much of a chance to use it before going with what I have now which is CouchDB and using Seaside as only the app server.
