Yes, there is option : Maximize compatibility of project files (LPI and LPS) in Project Options -> Miscellaneous. I did not test the option much myself. I guess it will get tested now by you and many others. It is a typical use case after all.
I think we have a big mess now. This option must be ON at least until the release of the next version. The way it is now the current release version cannot read any project modified by trunk.
And what happens when the next release appears? We will have the same situation. This way the new format can never be introduced without breaking the current release version unless the information is written in some kind of duplicate way: The old version always reads the old nodes if new nodes are not available, or the new nodes otherwise, the new version writes both old and new nodes when the compatibility option is ON. Later, a few versions in the future, when all old nodes have been replaced by new nodes we can switch the default of compatibility option to OFF.
