I wouldn't expect that, at least I'm not aware of anything.  There
were a number of incompatible changes in the early days of Atmel's
JTAG ICE mkII, but they manifested itself by the ICE unwilling to
accept the device descriptor.  This wasn't an issue for AVR Studio
itself, as it always insists on the ICE being upgraded to the firmware
matching AVR Studio.  Being a third-party vendor utility, AVRDUDE (or
AVaRICE, for that matter) cannot insist on a particular firmware
revision, so they try do adapt their habit.  The device descriptor
will be shortened to its previous form when a firmware revision below
4.x is detected.  If the (slave MCU) firmware revision is below 3.16,
a warning is printed that it might not work correctly.

Starting with 4.00, I'm not aware of any incompatible changes within
their firmware.

It's always worth a try to use the latest version (5.1 or 5.1cvs).
