I expect people would be reluctant to use a client not sanctioned by bitcoin.org officially, although I'm not sure how difficult that is. It may be as simple as sending an email to get them to add it to the list.

I would think that any new bitcoin wallet could be introducing a substantial security risk before it has been extensively field tested. If someone where to sneak some code in, or even just screw up a security protocol, all the stored bitcoins would be at risk.

If this were a real client, it would be an interface to bitcoind rather than a replacement.
Right. I've been working on an RPC client for iPhone.
That's awesome, I've been working on a native Cocoa one for OS X.
