Otherwise the Holy Ghost dwells with Satan in Outer Darkness which is a contradiction of scripture. I really think the omnipresent thing was meant differently than you are interpreting it. Religious is full of many figurative expressions such as burning bosoms (no 3rd degree burns, I swear), the baptism of fire, the armor of God, the fiery darts of tha dversary, angels with wings, and so on. When we speak of the omnipresence of the Holy Ghost, I've always understood that to mean in the sense that He is available for all to enjoy, much like sunlight (unless you're incarcerated / in outer darkness).
Perhaps the Outer Darkness is not one of the works of God, but some kind of a pre-existing repository for the naughty spirit offspring? And one could argue that spirit children are not really "works of God" per se any more than your literal offspring could be considered your work. That part is semantics, I admit it.
But you are not correct about omnipresence being merely a semantic issue. If God is limited to a physical body and is omnipresent only through the Holy Ghost and/or light of Christ, that must mean that either one, or the other, or both are found everywhere simultaneously in the same capacity; no traveling, speed or dispersion would be involved for obvious reasons.
