gehenna: Turn iMessage OFF prior to changing the SIM. Turn it ON when your new SIM is in.
Do the same when changing back to the original SIM. That should cover you.

as stated here, turning iMessage OFF apparently sends a 'msg' to Apple servers to deactivate their iMessage link to your phone/number, and this should 'unlink' the local number before you go.
with Vodafones $5-a-day deal, wouldn't it just be easier/cheaper to keep the vodafone sim in (unless you're making lots of 'overseas' US number calls?

I still want to be able to receive iMessages at my Vodafone number while I'm away, so don't want to deactivate that. Wish I had a plan that I was eligible for the $5/day a deal, but I'm on an old plan that still has eight months to run until the contract is over. But even 28 days, at $5/day, still works out cheaper to use an AT&T Sim.
jtan: Personally I think that the best set up for iMessage is to have it associated with your E-Mail address (primary iMessage account) as opposed to a phone number (secondary iMessage account/address). You can configure it to receive messages sent to either address on your iDevice, but choose a default account to send new messages from. That way if you change simcards you should be able to receive iMessages fine from your contacts (as your number may change but not your E-Mail address) - it also makes it easier if you want to iMessage off multiple Apple devices (now or in the future) such as off an iPad or Mac.
As for your current problem now though, the solution offered already should do the trick. :)
