I did this recently.

1.9 against a 1.10 server
=========================

First I ran the 1.9 testsuite against 1.10 servers
over http:// and svn://. For http:// there were two FAILs:

  FAIL: lock_tests.py 34: unlock file locked by other user
  FAIL: lock_tests.py 53: unlock a lock with timeout

In both cases the problem is the testsuite getting different error from
that expected:

  W: Unexpected output
  W: EXPECTED STDERR (regexp):
  W: | svn: warning: W160039: .*[Uu]nlock of .*403 Forbidden.*
  W: ACTUAL STDERR:
  W: | svn: warning: apr_err=SVN_ERR_FS_PATH_ALREADY_LOCKED
  W: | svn: warning: W160035: Path 'pi' already locked (423 Locked)
  W: | ../src-1.9/subversion/svn/unlock-cmd.c:100: (apr_err=SVN_ERR_ILLEGAL_TARGET)
  W: | svn: E200009: One or more locks could not be released

It turns out that both 1.9 and 1.10 servers return the same underlying
FS error: the W160039 expected by the testsuite. The difference is that
the 1.9 server wraps it in a 403 while the 1.10 server wraps it in a
423. The 1.9 client does not have r1716450 and that causes the 1.9
client to convert the underlying FS error to W160035.

For svn:// there were three FAILs:

  FAIL: ra-test 1: test svn_ra_get_location_segments
  FAIL: ra-test 4: lock multiple paths
  FAIL: ra-test 5: test ra_get_dir2

In all cases these are caused by the server returning
SVN_ERR_FS_INCORRECT_EDITOR_COMPLETION due to a commit editor drive
failing to close directories, a testsuite bug fixed in 1.10 by r1665532.

1.10 against a 1.9 server
=========================

I also ran the 1.10 testsuite against 1.9 servers over http:// and
svn://. In order to run the svn:// tests I had to disable part of
ra-test 10 as the 1.9 server doesn't have r1723865 and the 1.10
testsuite would block.

There were more failures than running 1.9 against 1.10 but a number were
functionaltity missing from 1.9 which is to be expected. Both http://
and svn:// failed these tests:

  FAIL: ra-test 8: delete revision newer than youngest
  FAIL: ra-test 9: check how ra functions handle bad revisions
  FAIL: basic_tests.py 67: null 'update' updates last changed rev
  FAIL: basic_tests.py 68: null 'property update' updates last changed rev
  FAIL: svnadmin_tests.py 48: upgrade --compatible-version=1.3
  FAIL: svnadmin_tests.py 56: svnadmin dump with no-op property change

The first ra-test FAIL is a faulty commit that is only detected by 1.10.
The second ra-test FAIL is test for r1665308, a revision range check
that is not in 1.9.

The basic_tests FAILs are issue 4700 which is not fixed in 1.9.

The first svnadmin_tests FAIL is due to the test using a 1.10 format
repository. The second svnadmin_tests FAIL is due to issue 4623 which
is not fixed in 1.9.

The http:// tests also failed:

  FAIL: lock_tests.py 34: unlock file locked by other user
  FAIL: mod_dav_svn_tests.py 1: verify 'Cache-Control' headers on responses

The lock FAIL is the same lock change that affects 1.9 but in
reverse, the 1.9 server sends 403 and the 1.10 testsuite expects 423.
The mod_dav_svn_tests FAIL is a new 1.10 feature not provided by the
1.9 server.

Summary
=======

Assuming the 1.10 behaviour of sending the 423 lock error is correct
then we cannot avoid the behaviour change for the 1.9 client and the
1.10 release notes should document it. In the longer term I suppose we
could backport a client side fix to 1.9.

1.9 with 1.10 libraries
=======================

I built 1.9 and 1.10 with --disable-full-version-match and then I copied
the 1.10 shared libraries, i.e. libsvn_*-1.so.0.0.0, into the 1.9 build
overwriting the 1.9 libraries. Running the 1.9 regression tests allows
testing of some of the ompatibility wrappers since the 1.9 binaries will
still call the top level 1.9 functions. This does not test all the
wrappers, only those invoked directly by the binaries.

There are 42 FAILs running the tests over ra_local, and fs-fs-pack-test
appears to hang and needs to be killed. I have not yet investigated any
of these failures:

FAIL: cache-test 4: basic membuffer svn_cache test
