Thanks for the feedback. There are definitively security issues to work out. APKs can be multi-process which can be used to isolate the dynamic apks at runtime. An application virtualization layer can be used to keep the apks from writing over each other's files and the APKs themselves can be vetted for malicious code and mis-behaving apps. I don't have all the answers so I appreciate the opportunity to think these issues through.
