Thinking out loud: what about doing it post-conference instead of
pre-conference? Then you could schedule it a bit more unconference, and
cover things that were not covered at Wikimania itself, and focus on
building on what you learned. You could focus on collaboration rather than
having more presentations?

Like many others on the list, I'm not entirely clear on what you'd like to
achieve?
Certainly, any topics that would have been welcome and appropriate at a
the WikiConference would be welcome at Wikimania, with no need of distinct
tracks?
Certainly, some meetings will have discussion topic that would be
generally less interesting to an international audience; but then remain
suitable for meetups. (Speaking of which, there will be a lot of available
space and time for both organized and impromptu meetings in Montreal that
are self-organized by the participants; both BoF sessions that are
organized in advance with scheduled time and places as well as space set
aside for unconferency impromptu meetings).
That said, if you feel the need to avoid division of audience, we do have
two full days of preconference during which it may be possible to make
additional meeting space avaliable for a more "distinct" WikiConference?
