Ok, I'm convinced. As long as the UTXO meta chain is verified by the system, that's fine. I thought initially that it's a separately maintained data structure. If it's integrated in the Blockchain, in the sense that an invalid utxo would cause the entire Blockchain block to be rejected, then it's fine. In this case you're not adding any principles to rely on, and security is essentially intact as far as I see.
I don't think validity of commitment touches validity of Bitcoin block. Bitcoin nodes are allowed to completely ignore this merge-mined chain.
