As Deepbit is hosted in Germany, it could on the other hand be very likely that the "de" Client predicts deepbit correctly and the "us" client predicts btcguild correctly...

Also I'm personally not sure if everyone wants to be in an IRC channel with other hoppers/miners.

You could however release a special version that does something like this and then provide a web service for everyone else to get the results of the consensus (as you don't need ~1000 samples).
