I think it breaks restarts - eg run SwiftApps/badmonkey/ with 1 badmonkey 
job and 0 goodmonkey jobs:

Swift v0.2-dev r1286 (modified locally)

RunID: 20070929-1223-3o7pfq5d
badmonkey started
badmonkey failed
Execution failed:
        Exception in badmonkey:

stdout.txt: I am a bad monkey.

In the logs, the first attempt at running fails successfully (i.e. it 
fails because badmonkey fails); but then the two subsequent attempts to 
re-run it fail with 'Failed to link input file in.txt'

I think its straightforward to move to separate execute and execute2 level 
IDs; however the weekend starts now!
