Is not quite true, but you do have to take care to use Legacy Layer Modes.
Actually it's worse than that.
As 2.9 is a constantly evolving beast, there is no guarantee that any particular version will be able to read an .xcf saved using a previous version, and I don't just mean 2.9.6 can't read 2.9.4.
2.9.7 built using the latest git commit today won't necessarily load .xcfs saved using 2.9.7 built using a git commit from yesterday. Until stability is reached at 2.10.x everything is in limbo.
