Thank your very much for your interest and for your efforts helping us!

I was quite sure that using the same id for branding plugin and
feature **should** work, because Eclipse itself uses this appoach, which
can be seen in the rcp feature of eclipse:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<feature
      id="org.eclipse.rcp"
      label="%featureName"
      version="3.1.1"
      provider-name="%providerName"
      plugin="org.eclipse.rcp"
      image="eclipse_update_120.jpg">
....

but your experiment proved that idea. If I get more information, I will 
keep the newsgroup up-to-date.
