Maybe I'm on the extreme end of things most of the time but to me there 
seem to be 2 solutions to this:
- break database compatibility between 1.4 and 1.5 - which should also 
have a bump in database revision so that possibly a 1.4 client refuses 
to open a 1.5 database
or
- insert a "last client revision" database field which, when set to e.g. 
1.4 runs migrations again

Don't know whether the use case justifies the latter effort...
