Although I'm no longer at Oracle working on Berkeley DB I am fairly confident when I say that the majority of the changes in BDB since 4.8 were related to a) the integration of the SQLite layer (the SQL API) and b) scalability/locking changes below the API to improve multi-core scalability. I think that is why the older version of BDB XML still works as expected with the latest version of BDB. Of course testing the combination should be something that the community does to ensure quality as I'm sure that Oracle will not "bless" this combination as "supported" until they release a newer version of BDB XML.
