If I set up HTML compression on my Unix / Apache/1.3.22 server as described in the link above, will this cause problems for any of the Googlebots?

If you do it right: no.

Compression will only be done if the user-agent/bot asks for HTTP/1.1 data and understands compressed information (via the accept-encoding header).
This way older bots or browsers (below 4.x) will still be able to see your site.
