As I said, I have not fully thought it out.  A better way to state this might be - this token uses the same key as rather than implying overriding.

Hi Jim,

Isn't this the same as token revocation with all its implications?  I would prefer strict token ordering combined with a sound revocation mechanism. In both scenarios, you would still have the issue that the client forwards the superseding token/revocation message if it has a benefit from doing so.
