I did just the same, for the same reason, and never encountered big
problems. Can you explain in more details what's happening?

1.0.5 is in stable, as you can expect, while at the moment I don't see
any package in testing. Please note that 1) Evolution depends on a lot
of Gnome packages, so it cannot be upgraded until all of them are, and
2) new Gnome packages are entering the Debian repositories right now, so
it's kind of a turbulent time in unstable.

Have you tried apt-get -t unstable install evolution ?
If it doesn't remove any of your preferred software you are probably
fine.

Another thing: have you installed in the past Debian packages by Ximian?
