There comes a point where a taxonomy of fallacies is just splitting hairs. But these two are ones that I would choose to distinguish, even though they have a lot of sympathy.
The point of a controversy bait-and-switch is to draw attention and followers based on how reasonable you are. I already explained how it works above.
A motte-and-bailey fallacy, for those who don't know, is that you have two statements that you equivocate between. The motte is very easy to defend. The bailey is an attack. When you are attacking you switch to the bailey. When you are defending you switch to the motte. And then you switch back by pretending that your defense of the motte actually advanced your bailey.
I see this as different because you actually DO intend to convince people of the bailey if you can. And while in the controversy bait and switch you make it clear when you flip between positions, in the mott-and-bailey you equivocate and attempt to leave people confused.
