It will probably be compatible so long as it doesn't contain anything that was removed or seriously changed in the next version. (For instance, a Maceman would break a map if loaded after these unis were changed to Champions.) If so, you can edit those things out in notepad, although that could take a lot of time and might be beyond your skill. (I've never really tried, so I don't know how hard it is)
I'm not sure, but is is quite possible that the BtS 3.17 patch would make any maps from earlier versions incompatible.

Well, not to usurp a thread for my own agenda or anything, but there's been a question thats been nagging at me for awhile, as it may reveal a certain degree of incompetence on my part, and this seems as good a place as any to ask. What is the best way to create a map? There dosent seem to be any external way to start the world builder, and generating a random map only to delete everything to start from scratch just seems, crude. Is there a better way?

What I am doing is starting a new game, then going to WB and loading the WB save. I think that this bypasses the start-up scripts; at least, I don't get any resources added, for instance.
As to the original topic, you are probably okay for a long time if you just have an empty map. If you add units, buildings, or promotions, it's a gamble as to whether or not you'll survive the next version without needing a careful edit.
