Ken,
I agree that the rendered design above is probably not ideal. From my very limited suspension experience ("I had a friend who..." etc...) the wishbones need to be unequal length, and inclined at different angles to get the roll centre in the right place, and get changes in camber as the suspension is loaded, etc. The setup above looks to be equal length and parallel, so there will be no camber change on the wheel as it loads up, i.e just like the standard torsion beam setup.
I have no idea how well my system will work, but it is unequal length wishbones and different inclination angles for the upper & lower wishbones. Whether the rate of change of camber, position of the roll centres is right for a stock-ish weight Bug is anyones guess...
