I don't know the answer to that, you might want to be sure there's a
bug in bugzilla.gnome.org about it.

1.3.x installs alongside 1.2.x, it doesn't replace it. So you can
install it with no problem. However, there aren't really any apps
using it yet, so unless you want to start developing against 1.3.x
(which is a pretty OK idea at this point), it isn't going to do you
any good.
