It depends what you mean by "consider 1.2.8
there" .   If a
file 
containing python code changed in 1.2.8, then you've got
the the latest 
version of code when you start up zope. However, sometimes
its necessary 
to uninstall and reinstall products depending on how
they're written, 
like for example if reinstalling added something to the
plone skins. So 
a matter of luck here.
And, you may be able to do the migration, then later
uninstall and 
reinstall the PloneCollector to fix any skin issues, though
no 
guarantees. You need to compare the install scripts of 1.2.7
and 1.2.8 
to see if 1.2.8 does anything extra.

In my experience it ignored objects for which the product
wasn't 
installed (in our case, blogs for example), but I can't
promise you 
won't get migration breaking in your situation. All you can
do is try.....

Look at:

http:
//docs.neuroinf.de/programming-plone/debug

and

http://www.zope.org/Members/klm/ZopeDebugging/Co
nversingWithZope

We use debian, and I find emacs debugging to be great,
because it steps 
through the code and has syntax highlighting, even for ZPT.

If you're unfamiliar with emacs, its easy to learn with
this book:

and applicable to many other things besides Plone.
