Yep. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I did an upgrade today on my 12.2 laptop to 13.1 and it blew up all over the place. Rather than sort through the issues, I backed up data (actually did that before the ugprade) and then did a fresh installation on the root partition, preserving the home partition (but whacking the GNOME 3 configuration).
You could instead have used the DVD Offline System Upgrade Method - boot the DVD (or NetInstall CD), choose upgrade instead of install. It has been known to repair those fiascos.
That's what I actually did. I didn't do a zypper dup.
In-place upgrades always - even with supported version upgrades - leave undesirable cruft on the system.
My system is more or less upgraded since 5.3 - works fine ;-)
