The mod_perl developers have the same potential problems with threading - even when the core is thread-safe, many extensions are not. If you are running in pre-fork mode, there are really no conflicts or problems with running PHP on Apache 2. However, Rasmus still feels strongly about using Apache 1.3 until 2 has been around for a long time (1.3's stability is hard to match), unless you have a compelling reason to upgrade. So, I'm not sure what documentation you're referring to exactly, nor am I sure that there would be a lot of support in updating it. Regardless, if you need to run Apache 2, and you run it in pre-fork mode, you should be fine. Hope that helps.
