I do have an existing DB account that is used for Typo3 amongstother things but since I can only have one DB account it would be real trouble if this install would overwrite the existing data - hence the question :o)

I think it's a little more accurate to say: "it creates it's own DB if needed, but will install its tables into an existing one". (And then add the caveats about naming and overwriting). I installed 1.3.?? into an existing DB. In fact, don't you have to have a DB with account and username before install?
