In addition, there are multiple conflicts associated with not only residual program traces but the POSSIBILITY of residual program traces. However to date none have caused the initiation of Nag Nag and in this case it would appear that clear evidence of an intention to upgrade to Wife 2.0 (rather than re-installing Wife 1.0) does reduce the number of error messages.
As you would be aware by now, Girlfriend is really a trialware version of Wife and the functionality differences between the two, and the marketing messages you mention, appear to differ between distributions. The Girlfriend 4.0 I've been playing with does not come with I/O port access enabled until upgraded (or perhaps I just haven't found the access codes yet) so I can't really compare the impact of conflict on I/O function. I do think attempting to use 2 I/O ports was always going to create conflicts.
I guess in the long run you either chose to put up with the adware or buy a license.
Good luck.
