However, it's been experimentally determined that, from the point of view of a photon in one light beam, the apparent velocity of the other light beam away from the observer is still exactly the speed of light; the other light beam merely appears to be redshifted.

Right. But if you are riding one of the light beams and decide to let go of it, the other beam will immediately slow by half, and there will be really expensive visual effects.
