My idea was to license any file where I expect there to derivations
from existing code as GPLv2+, and fall back to GPLv2-only for
newly-written files for which I expect there to be no reuse of existing
GPLv2+ code.

Agreed, and I definitely want to minimize confusion. Ultimately I think
situations like this will be unavoidable, though, since derivations will
likely need to be made from both GPLv2-only and GPLv2+ code.
