[Gdal-dev] TIGER 2004se (second edition) is out - will ogr2ogr handle it?

It looks like TIGER 2004 second edition came out late last week.  The
main page says that the file format has changed slightly:

http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/tiger2004se/tgr2004se.html

Minor Changes to the File Structure
The Census Bureau has made only minor format changes for the 2004
Second Edition TIGER/Line file format. On Record Type B the Census
Bureau replaced the Urban Area, 2000 Corrected and Urban/Rural
Indicator, 2000 Corrected fields with Reserved Spaces. And on Record
Type I the TIGER 1-Cell Source Code field has become Reserved Space.

I'm just about to load the 2004 data -- I was wondering if ogr2ogr
will work with the new dataset or should I just use the first edition?
 Anyone tried it yet and noticed any problems?
