Is there any harm in being mistaken for a motorcycle do you think?

Yes, if you're turning across the traffic or negotiating a roundabout* and they're expecting to see indicators.

*Yes I know that indicating at roundabouts is a dying art on a par with basket-weaving and stonemasonry.

Mmm fair point MrAgreeable.
Getting noticed indicating in the dark is difficult enough.

As an aside, just witnessed a ninja cyclist on an unlit local NSL road. pitch black and no discernible lights or reflectives at all!!
Car behind him had to slam on the brakes when he finally saw him.

Mental!

GrahamS - thanks for the picture...i had seen these covers and had contemplated getting one but i've been a bit lazy and not got one yet, hence the hi-viz vest.
can you still get access to the rucksack with one these on or do you have to take the cover off first?

Gonzy - they fit over the top with elastic straps behind so you can pull it down to access the rucksack, 2 second job

Yeah. The (Camelbak) one I have fits sort of like a big shower cap. Very easy to whip off when you need access to the pack.
