Of course it would by a breaking change. There is no formal spec of the JSON dump beyond the spec for the individual entities, but we have always said that the dump is a set (an array) of entities. Putting something in there that is not an entity will break consumers.
Well I think that it should be a breaking change, but I read the stable interface policy as saying that it isn't. Well-behaved consumers are supposed to be tolerant of extra information. Adding a new item to the dump array is adding extra information. This extra information does not change the meaning of the existing information in any way.
