This needs to be reviewed. Running 1.8 on your site is not an issue, but creating XML dumps which are incompatible with released versions is. This is what needs to be addressed.
The XML dump format has not changed since 1.5, and should remain backwards compatible for the forseeable future.
For wiki-agnostic republishing purposes, we're considering making more easily used HTML dumps available.
If you want the wikitext source, though, you do need to keep in mind that extensions, bug fixes, etc will continue to evolve along with Wikimedia's needs, so the exact rendering of given input text may necessarily change a bit over time.
If you have a specific concern, please let us know.
