Unlocking Bootloader Restrictions - Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini

I'm helping a friend of mine with his X10 Mini Pro. I know that specs-wise the phone is almost similar to the X8.
So I have a question. Besides from the SIM Unlock Certificate, is there anything that could prevent me from unlocking the bootloader? I'm asking because the X8 has the known date problem (11w29+).
As the guides are shared for both phones, I'm not completely sure if the restriction applies to both. From what I've seen this isn't the case, but no idiot proof: X8 = YES - X10 Mini = NO.

I'm not completely sure if the date-restrictions apply to the x10mini/pro as well, but the underlying hardware is roughly the same for all 2010 family Xperia phones, so if they changed something in there on the X8, chances are they were changed in all the other Xperias too.
Since it's your friends's phone, i wouldn't risk it, since you'll end up with a hard-brick if it goes wrong.

I open up a new thread for this. Sorry I didnt read it first, same question here.
They didnt actually warn us in BL unlocking threads if it is safe or not. Sigh.
EDIT1: I Fiddled abit in this phone, IDK if this is the confirmatory that were looking for, this is what i found:
BTW-Im on stock rom and stock kernel so i have this service mode or something like that
1. Enter *#*#7378423#*#* in the dialer then call
2. Go to Service info
3. Go to Configuration
4. At the lower most entry, there is something that says:
-Rooting Status:
Bootloader unlock allowed: Yes
Is this the answer that we need? or it is all in MFC date? my X10MP is 12w17.
EDIT2: I guess, I did answer my question, the confirmatory is this http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
The supporting details is EDIT1, thanks for nothing

I wouldn't be so sure about that. The X10 Mini does not appear in the list of supported devices in that page.

Those are the 2011 Mini and Mini Pro, not the X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro from 2010
