The terms do mention higher versions of Android in the judging sections: http://code.google.com/android/adc/adc2_terms.html >8.

SECOND ROUND JUDGING >... >any end user of an Android-power handset running Android 1.5 or higher Still, it would be nice if something could be done to help devs with broken apps. I wonder if there is some option besides letting everyone submit an update, which may not even be allowable by the terms. Maybe the judging app could run apps in a compatibility layer, or a patch to 1.6 addressing the issues could be rushed out. Those are probably too much work to be practical, I guess. Especially with the holiday shopping season here. Helping carriers and manufacturers get phones out to take advantage of that is probably a high priority for Google.
