Well, if you have an outdated gforth.elc, it will not get replaced.  
Otherwise, it doesn't stop anything from working, emacs will take the 
gforth.el instead the gforth.elc, and take a little longer to load Forth mode.  
That's all.

We have no problem with fixing this thing, this has been fixed in the Git head 
when I got Emacs 24.x on my distribution.
