The bug basically states that during migration from 1.4.x to 2.x, the
conversion of the mailbox data fails.
Does this affect upgrades from Evolution 1.0.5 as well? If not, it simply /cannot/ be considered release critical, as 1.0.5 is the version currently found in Woody.
The short answer, "Yes, I strongly *suspect* it does."
The long answer:
I don't have Evolution 1.0.5 installed, so I have not been able to test this, and I'm not confident that installing an older version of Evolution would actually migrate my mail data back, but the original bug report showed this URL:
http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=69566
Which has been moved to here:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=269566
This bug is now marked Major and is slated for 2.2, and it has many reports associated with it.

So we've prevented the crash now. It seems to happen when e-d-s can't load for some reason. We'll see what happens with new reports.
This makes me suspect that the bug has been resolved in their CVS, but I suspect that Debian isn't using that fixed version at this stage. *However*, I note that v2.2.1 is now in Unstable, which if I'm reading correctly from the Gnome Bugzilla does not have this problem.
So, I would propose that this bug stay open until v2.2.1 is in Testing, then I'll do another migration using the backed up mail data from 1.4.6 and test again.
If you've gotten to here wondering if I'm ever actually going to answer your question about v1.0.5, here it is:
While I understand and completely agree with your sentiment about upgrading from Woody, Evolution 1.0.5, to 2.0.3, I strongly suspect that v1.0.5 is affected, though I do not have any actual proof of that.
Kind regards,
