Ok, I've given it a shot. No luck I'm afraid.
I've ran up against a pletherer of problems. First off, I think the first map of C&C seems to be broken. Even with no spies, I was getting this error on the AI's turn.

---------------------------
So I changed maps. Then I realised the new unit didn't carry over the effect. Turns out I'd forgotten that bit. I kind of fixed that (it still gave an audio error but it actually carried over effects as well).
However, when the effect fizzled and it tried to revert my disguised unit, I got a System.InvalidOperationException, where it modified the enumeration (I didn't copy the exact error I'm afraid).
All in all, I've been trying to get disguising units to work for a while now, but the game doesn't seem to be too happy about this. I have at least made an improvement to my scripts for when I release the new version of them. 

Sad times.
