Hi Jeff, I'm not sure I fully understood your problem. I understand you want to keep handles, which you definitely should. I don't understand why there would be any handle conflicts on an upgrade.
To answer your question - no, changing provenance will not pose a problem for DSpace as this field is not machine-readable. Anyway, why do you need to change provenance? By default, it's only visible to administrators, so you'd be removing information that could be potentially helpful to you in the future.
