Usually the reverse is true - code works on v5, but fails on v4t.
However the following will work on armv4t and fail on armv5:

test:
adr r0, 1f
orr r0, r0, #1
str r0, [sp, #-4]!
ldr pc, [sp], #4
1:
bx lr

Admittedly this is a fairly contrived example, but the circumstances aren't 
completely implausible. Imagine someone using the low bit of a pointer as an 
additional flag, and relying on the hardware ignoring that bit.
