I'll test this hypothesis anyway, but it's good to know others'

So, I've upgraded on a test server with a vanilla postfix (standard
settings, as installed on CentOS 5, i.e. ) which had been upgraded in
the past to 2.8.2 using local compilation (and "make upgrade") and now
to 2.9.1 using my self-built RPMs (which are in test state):

From the above, I concluded that I should comment-out / delete in
master.cf the respective line (marked with a *):
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
relay unix - - n - - smtp
# * -o fallback_relay=
# -o smtp_helo_timeout=5 -o smtp_connect_timeout=5
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"fallback_relay parameter has been removed" is no more available in v2.9 ?
The server works OK. I commented out the above parameter.
====================================================
Now, a more complex test: a copy (on a test server) of my full
configuration (virtual-only, ldap-based accounts and aliases, TLS using
"real" (not self-signed) certs, delivery via dovecot lda, SASL auth
using dovecot SASL).

I guess that the "var_flock_tries" parameter (which I had added
according to:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/postfix-users/message/277428) might
not be available any more. This parameter is no nonger valid?
The upgrade was successful. Everything works fine.
So, the hypothesis was confirmed: "rpm -Uvh" works fine over a
compiled-from-source version.
Also, RPMs built using the spec file I posted, with LTB-OpenLDAP
libraries, work fine too. (If anyone is interested, I will be happy to
provide them.)
