Back in the 8-speed days it was a different story though.

Wow! I almost replied to this post, then noticed Sheldon Brown, then noticed the date! But what the heck, I'll do it anyway since the tread is on my current thread list which means it's been resurected already and I won't be blamed. I'll read more after i post this.
Annnnyyyyywaaaayyy.... I used a Shimano 8 speed wheel and cassette by mistake with a Campy 8 speed Syncro downtube shifter and it worked fine. I had purchaed a JTek adapter to use, but forgot to put it on. Now I have a Campy wheel for that bike.
