I think your situation can be made simpler, but it does require a promise. Promise that all Pathfinder issues will be have 4.0 stats provided online for free to people who buy the 3.5 version now. Yes, that may be a bit of work up front, but you keep everyone interested for now. Of course, you got to follow up and do it when possible -- but you can cancel conversions later (4th or 5th pathfinder series) when the 3.5/4.0 divide is figured out.

If 4.0 is truly better, everyone will naturally go there and the decision is made for you (barring the usual people who hate change -- I know people who still play 2nd edition too).

For those wanting to go 4.0, even if just to try it, you are providing entertaining d20 material for thousands of gamers not to mention saving plenty of game masters from having to build encounters from scratch.

Again, promise to do a 4.0 conversion, and we'll keep buying the modules now knowing our investment in Paizo is an investment in our potential change to 4.0.

We'll iron out all the 3.5 vs. 4.0 stuff later when we know what the heck it is.

(NOTE: I realize that Paizo may feel they'll deliver 4.0 conversions later than anyone likes, but I would take advantage of the online media and make the 4.0 conversions simple -- just the stat blocks, not whole new layouts).
