Geoff: no
Please note: i'm talking about 3rd party modules
Explanation:
 - 1 : if a site will install with $table_prefix, a module which
       doesn't care about $table_prefix could do mess in the db.
 - 2 : pre-0.8.2 modules aren't provided with the new security
       capability, so it means they will be fully compatible but a
       malicious user could execute modulename_setup.php (if it exist)
typing
       a URL like:
http://www.phpws-powered-site.com/mod/modulename/modulesname_setup.php
and then mess up the db.
 - 3: pre-0.8.2 modules aren't compliant with the module-installer
      mechanism which means that they often aren't listed in the
"installed modules" list, nor they can be installed/uninstalled via
admin panel
