I see now that I misread the upgrade page, and indeed it was advertised - my apologies for saying it wasn't. When I was reading the docs prior to the 5.0 upgrade, I thought it said that it would honor previous installs running as root and so I didn't worry about it for 5.0. But it really says it will honor previous installs for a user *other than* root.
