I recently upgraded from apache-2.2.27 to apache-2.2.27-r4 and
etc-update wanted to add the following directive to the default SSL
vhost:

SSLProtocol ALL -SSLv2 -SSLv3

I had already disabled SSLv2 (security issue?) but this also disables
SSLv3.  Could that cause a compatibility issue?

You can use something like Qualys SSL Labs[0] to test if anything breaks.

Isn't it a browser compatibility issue though?  Are there browsers out
there that support SSLv3 but not TLS?

IE6 on Windows <= XP. TLSv1 is technically supported, but it's disabled
by default.
