I don't buy this at all. the changes are ones that change the behavior of certain apps in classic, like Appletalk, Tcp/IP, printers, etc, and make some other compatibility patches. None of these changes affect behavior in 9, as far as I know. I have many times booted from Classic systems. My emailer is on a system which sometimes boots in 9, sometimes (more and more) in X. The problems with older apps and X are the .name invisible files, especially the .DS_Store, which are created any time a folder is opened/viewed in X. They cause problems with emaiiler in particular, such as the temp folder complained about. If oyu delete all of these files, then all the issues go away. I don't know of any direct issues from making 9.2.2 "OS X compatible", that affect booting in 9, and are caused by the OS X modifications, which I believe only take effect in X. Does anyone else?
