There doesn't seem to have been a whole lot of testing it.
You mean besides openQA which tested the following scenarios with zypper dup every single build of Leap:
Exactly: besides.
13.1 GNOME > 42.1 https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/97548 13.2 GNOME > 42.1 https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/97536 13.2 KDE > 42.1 https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/97534
Not to forget all the upgrade tests from disk done, which actually also included upgrading from 12.3?
OpenQA tests particular patterns, not what users do post-install and use for 12 or 18 months of normal activity, correct? QA can't cover but a fraction of permutations possible from use by people. I was writing about reports of tests by real users on real hardware reported in the forums and mailing lists.
...it was an unlikely candidate for success.
As you were not running 13.2, but 13.2 + your own choice of repositories, I think it's disingenuous of you to answer this persons question with your experience, when your experience is well outside of the scope of their question.
Hence my qualification, to lead to inference all users don't simply install some earlier version, then immediately upgrade with expectation of perfection. Those who have deviated from standard need be wary of any upgrade process.
They asked if the zypper dup upgrade works from 13.2 to Leap. It does.
If falling within the QA assumptions. openSUSE users are hardly a cookie cutter group.

Within limits. During the testing period testing wasn't possible for KDE3 users, as there was no KDE3 for Leap either in oss or in BS, thus the limited amount of personal testing, also since Plasma5 and other officially supported DEs tried have proven an unsatisfactory replacement for KDE4 or KDE3 here. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
