If I make a quantity of the mariinade described here, will any undesirable reactions occur during refrigerated storage? If it's okay to store, what advice might you give re: length of storage?

Also, the recipe suggests at least an hour marinading duration; what would you suggest is the upper limit?

It should keep fine for a few days. Don't keep any of the marinade you have used to marinate food in, just the unused portion.

If the minimum suggested time to marinate is one hour, I don't think you'd benefit from more than 2-3 hours.
 
The only undesirable reaction would happen after about 4 days or so. The fresh thyme just won't hold up and the flavor will start to fail.

I agree with Andy in that 2 - 3 hours tops for marinating. The marinade should enhance, not overpower. Also, the recipe says to toss the cooked product with the reserved marinade - so that will be even more flavor added.
