I also found odd inconsistencies copying .kde3.5 to .kde4

Kopete has twice reordered my contacts
akonadi integration with kmail was flakey
system tray icons come and go as they please
and various other oddities that don't happen with new users

It would seem that a largely vanilla 3.5 config migrates to 4 with low risk. 
As the old config is more and more modified, the odds of 100% success reduce.

As always, YMMV
