Is this bug still valid? Only packaged apps will have sensitive permissions (right?) and each version will be reviewed anyway rather than being selectively flagged in the re-review queue. (please reopen if this isn't the case)

What happens if a hosted (manifest) app starts asking for new permissions?

I assume we fail silently? I don't know?
