Just to give an example: iOS 6 is drawing text slightly differently from iOS 5, and this is causing my existing code to misbehave when the app runs on iOS 6, even though it is compiled against iOS 5. m.

Often, the problem is your own fault - that is, the system upgrade has exposed a problem with your code that was somehow not exposed under the earlier system. But sometimes the system just changes behavior in a totally incompatible way (like when iOS 3.2 summarily reversed the meaning of the shadow-drawing components from what they had meant in iOS 3.1.x).
