Peter,
yes, this is expected to work. I am not aware of any incompatible changes in this upgrade.
You can also change the location of the data directory:
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/datadirectory/setting.html
Note that some upgrades can change the data directory in ways that prevent later downgrade:
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/installation/upgrade.html
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/datadirectory/migrating.html
It is safest to have a backup. Upgrading by copying the data directory as you describe is also safe.
Kind regards,
