Basically when i restore my current data onto the newly flashed v3.1 will my old current data overwrite the new?
I dont do the data.img restore but after reading your post curiosity got the best of me.
I'm really surprised no one has brought this up before.
It appears your concerns are justified. It appears that the old data overwrites the new.

I flashed a clean OMJ 3.1, verified wifi tether 8 and that aps2SD was in the data partition.
I pulled my data.img from 3.0 and restored it via fastboot.
I found I was back on wifi tether 7 and aps2SD was gone.

I assume this has to do with OMJ using /data and /data/app for his customizations.
He wont be cooking for awhile with his move. I'll give him a shout about it.
