Well, you didn't specify a particular version, and you asked about what could break such casting. And other than the string-specific codepages for ansistring/utf8string, the rest still holds (e.g. casting a unicodestring to ansistring can easily result in data loss even in 2.6.x, because there will be a conversion to the default system code page).
