Yeah, I would say all bets are off when overwriting a running database.
How are you doing the upgrade, from a package or source?
I now the .deb packages allow for running multiple versions concurrently
and I believe that yum can work that way also. If building from source
you can do something like --prefix=/usr/local/pgsql94 in configure to
separate versions. Then you just have to change the port in
postgresql.conf to have multiple versions on a machine. Somewhat less
dangerous then deleting $DATA.
