Yes, but you'll have to enable that. Some data-sets have changed in 5.0 (that's one of the reasons it has been declared a new major release): in the "PreCache" chain, you need to enable the "v5upgrade" target. It'll take care of "translating" v4 data-sets to v5 data-sets. > I ask because while most plugins are getting through OK (e.g. process, > df, etc), there is no evidence of the apache plugin sending any data > to the hub, nor am I seeing any errors in syslog from either host.

The types.db is a static file, it does not depend on any compile time settings.
