Oops too late - ah old threads...
I did a lot of research and retrofitting insulation is a fairly common practice with very little negative results. In most cases the layers and layers of old paint act as a satisfactory vapour barrier.
As for the spray foam situation CBC marketplace just did a special on Sunday about the risks of spray foam. I'm sure it's a great product when installed properly but it sounds like it can be a total nightmare if not done correctly.
