Is there anything in the above that stands out as potentially being problematic?

Well, there are a lot of languages that really dislike having their inheritance hierarchy change at runtime, so the first scheme might be rather problematic. (I also think it's likely a really bad misuse of inheritance, but that's a matter of opinion) Scheme 2 is also much safer from a pure security standpoint. Personally it's what I'd prefer.
