No.

When in doubt, the authoritative reference for this sort of question
is the revision history for catversion.h:

http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/src/include/catalog/catversion.h

If you look at revs 1.252 and 1.253, you can see that all the 8.0rc's
and indeed 8.0beta5 too are catalog-compatible with REL8_0_STABLE.
