If Ron dies, he will not be able to go back in time, and is therefor 
not Dumbledore. Though, if JKR somehow tries to make us *THINK* he 
died (if he for example faces voldemort and is never seen again) he 
could very well have gone back in time, which would fit the Ron!
Dumbledore theory.

I'd really like it to be true, and I hope that Ron!Dumbledore is 
either forgetful about minor details (because of age or whatever) or 
that he lies to McGonagall. Because otherwise there is something in 
the first chapter of PS that doesn't quite fit.

"No, thank you," said Professor McGonagall coldly, as though she 
didn't think this was the moment for sherbet lemons. "As I say, even 
if You-Know-Who has gone –"
"My dear Professor, surely a sensible person like yourself can call 
him by his name? All this `You-Know-Who' nonsense – for eleven years 
I have been trying to persuade people to call him by his proper name: 
Voldemort." 
Professor McGonagall flinched, but Dumbledore, who was unsticking two 
sherbet lemons, seemed not to notice. "It all gets so confusing if we 
keep saying `You-Know-Who'. [- !Here comes the key part! -]I have 
never seen any reason to be frightened of saying Voldemort's name."


Well, never is never, but I sure hope he's senile.


Anyway, later on in chapter 6.

"
 and until Hagrid told me, I didn't know anything about being a 
wizard or about my parents or Voldemort –"
Ron gasped.
"What?" said Harry.
"You said You-Know-Who's name!" said Ron, sounding both shocked and 
impressed. "I'd have thought you, of all people –"

Dig up more stuff! :P
