If a server admin changes a transaction and the commit came from an old client then the working copy is potentially broken. If an old client doesn't know about mergeinfo it doesn't have access to that new feature. New clients lose awareness of any merges committed by the old clients but neither side is really broken. You just may be inconvenienced when merging. I think there's a huge difference there.
