Hmm... maybe. FWIW I also opened a bug in the appengine bug tracker and haven't gotten any response there either.
I'm not sure what you mean by disabling appstats on the backend. The backends.xml is in the same codebase as the rest of my application. I could create a whole separate version of the app for the backend but that seems like a lot of wrangling for something that's supposed to work this way. I'm pretty sure this is something related to the newest appengine api. It used to work this way for us a few versions back. Thanks.
