I hit this problem too, if I remember correctly when trying to upgrade a
database from 8.3 to 8.4.  I ended up aborting the upgrade, since the
upgrade documentation made no mention of this and I didn't have time to dig
into it at the time.  A tool to find all instances of this would be very
helpful.
