Are you referring to the releasenotes that say:

"This is not actually related to the Subversion 1.2 release, but it
may affect you if you upgrade to 1.2 via a package distribution
system. A lot of operating systems now ship Berkeley DB 4.3.
Sometimes the system Berkeley DB libraries can be unintentionally
upgraded to 4.3 as part of some other change pulled down via an OS
package delivery mechanism — for example, upgrading one's Subversion
package. If this happens to you, you will need to upgrade existing
BerkeleyDB-based repositories to 4.3."

... and then point to the 4.2->4.3 upgrade instructions?

Where do we ever say it 'probably won't work' or 'it'll trash your
repository'?

We've never had any reports of the 4.2->4.3 upgrade instructions
trashing anything.
