It is quite simple. Sharing profiles with different versions is not
supported. The migration code ones knows one way and this is up from
lower to higher version. Especially the storage format changes
frequently. Check you error console for errors during startup. There are
always a few but in case of an older SeaMonkey and newer profile this
can result in funky errors. Same for some other options in recent
versions. We needed to do bunch of SeaMonkey specific migrations e.g.
email image whitelisting in 2.49.
Sharing between different OS is also completely unsupported. If it works
then fine but some things like Lightning won't.
Sure unzipping and running the exe is fine if you don't need
accessibility or send mail from external applications under Windows (MAPI).
In short: Unless you have very specific needs stay with one version and
just backup the profile before upgrading so that you can go back without
problems.

First, as far as "support", apps are tools. You get a tool and do with
it whatever you can. And you might break it. So you then get another
or a different one.
My main point is, if you separate app, profile and mail, you can break
one without effecting the others. I have had a lot of profiles break.
I just fix it, get a backup, make a new one,,,.
