I agree with you, so we aren't really "agreeing to disagree", we're "agreeing to nuanced interpretations".

Does anybody know if the VIPM tool checks for the system bit version? Is it possible that the VIPM tool is installing a sepearte code base of Open G that is optimized for 64 bit? That would explain why Open G is not finding the VI's even if they have the same name.
Also,
Just want to make sure, You do have the "separate compiled code from VI" checked?
When using source control this is a time saver, and there are only a few caveaat where this would cause an issue.

Actually, whereas your (a) is true, the (b) is false. There is a full both way compatibility between the 32 and 64 bit LV versions within the same "major" revision (2012, 2014 etc). In addition, it is independent of the compiled code separation setting. The other thing is that these versions have diffrent root paths (Program files and Program files (x86)) which apparently has an influence on the dependencies on some older extra packages (this OpenG mentioned here).

Yes, I changed this setting together with moving all of my code to an identical folder structure on both machines. This folder structure was originally outside the LV root, but was diffrent on both systems. Additionally, I switched to exactly the same LV rev. on both systems. I have not (yet?) changed the user.lib position, as mikeporter suggested. The benefits are not quite clear to me yet in my einvironment. Besides, I'd need an extra portion of courage to do this
So I cannot tell how much (time) I won with this one particuliar setting, but I do realize the benefits.
All in all it got much smoother and faster.
Thanks to all of you.

Thank you for telling me that! I've never worked with 64-bit LabVIEW -- I naively assumed that, just as with almost every other system I know that has 32- and 64-bit versions, there would be differences (though I'll grant that C code, saved in a Repository, would be the same if it was designed for a 32-bit or 64-bit compiler, so this is probably Fuzzy Thinking on my part).
Fortunately, one can say silly things on the Forum and be gently corrected ...
