After I've had a chance to work with this further I don't recommend anyone reregister any 1.1 servers with a 1.0.x configuration directory. While the installation of a new server will not fail, attempting to access the new server from the old console does not work. I'm still messing around, but I think I will have to move down the same path as David and have each replicated node registered with itself.
