C++ libraries talking to one another and compiled with different version of Visual C++ would just crash on "new" and "delete", usually. It either works or doesn't work at all, it's not hard to tell if there is a problem. Python, Pyside and Qt should all three use the same compiler
One comment about your blog post. While Maya is using a modified version of the Qt libraries, all the Qt point releases are binary compatible together. In other words, any version of Pyside compiled with some variete of Qt 4.8 will work with any variety of Qt 4.8.x, including the maya one. On the Mac we don't even compile PySide, we just take the binary off the web site. On Windows we had to compile because of the compiler. On Windows you can also use cmake to generate a visual studio project file and compile in the GUI if you prefer that.
