Yes. When trying to load existing project quota inode in 
xfs_qm_init_quotainos() I'm doing:

+                       if (!xfs_sb_version_hasseparatepquota(&mp->m_sb)) {
+                               ASSERT(!XFS_IS_GQUOTA_ON(mp));
+                               mp->m_sb.sb_pquotino = mp->m_sb.sb_gquotino;
+                               mp->m_sb.sb_gquotino = 0;
+                       }

While xfs_mod_sb() now does:

        /*                                                                                                                                                   
         * Filesystem has no separatepquota turned on,                                                                                                       
         * so we need to store project quota in group                                                                                                        
         * quota inode on disk.                                                                                                                              
         */                                                                                                                                                  
        if (!xfs_sb_version_hasseparatepquota(&mp->m_sb)) {                                                                                                  
                mp->m_sb.sb_gquotino = mp->m_sb.sb_pquotino;                                                                                                 
                mp->m_sb.sb_pquotino = 0;                                                                                                                    
        }  

       xfs_sb_to_disk(XFS_BUF_TO_SBP(bp), &mp->m_sb, fields);

 [...]
        /*
         * Restore original in-memory project quota inode state.
         */
        if (!xfs_sb_version_hasseparatepquota(&mp->m_sb)) {                                                                                                  
                mp->m_sb.sb_pquotino = mp->m_sb.sb_gquotino;                                                                                                 
                mp->m_sb.sb_gquotino = 0;                                                                                                                    
        }     

so in-memory sb_pquotaino is always used for project quota (regardless of 
SEPARATEPQUOTA feature) while on-disk is depending on SEPARATEPQUOTA feature 
bit. SB modify part is untested yet.

Ok, I'll add new "upgrade <feature>" command to xfs_db (and call it from 
xfs_admin, too) where for now the only feature will be "separatepquota" one.
