Update: OK, I've run the update.

The good news: it worked (but see below). I'm happily running Gutsy right now.

The bad news: it didn't work flawlessly. During the update there were several error messages. I did run a (probably unnecessary, perhaps harmful, and certainly lengthy) "dpkg-reconfigure -a -u", and a dist-update, and I had to pick the new kernel manually on boot. (Got me a bit of a scare the first time; I didn't notice the old kernel was running, and it had no network drivers...)

The other good news: it will probably work better for others. My system is a bit special: I've updated continuously from Dapper through Gutsy, and I always mess with configs and things, so it's very likely my system was a bit hard to update.
