Can SDNA handle settings that change from version to version but are
set via .py?

I think there is another method possible where there is no doubts:
load two blends transparently instead of one, first user-prefs.blend
(current .b.blend with another name, default shipped version will be
bare bones to save space) then start-up.blend (to load screens,
default objects, etc). And depending on the invoked commands, save one
or both files when needed.
