Indeed, the (really good!) Qt documentation quickly reveals that the posted exception would already vanish with 4.5:
http://doc.qt.nokia.com/stable/qtextcursor.html#document

(Of course, different issues could arise after that.)

Let me also note as an explanation for the PyQt-only upgrade that PyQt is backwards-compatible with all (OK, many ;-) ) previous Qt versions and will "just export what’s there" in the given Qt version.
