I don't like to back down from an upgrade. When I've had problems with security settings, I've had to research what it was and adjust the settings to suit. The big surprise for us was installing sp2 onto some xp workstations. We ended up adding a bunch of our local apps to the firewall list so that they would work.
On the server end, we've had sp's break older asp based web applications. In those cases some source code browsing and tweaking were required. All of the changes had to do with loose security settings that had been fixed with the service pack. Sorry I can't be more specific.
