Is there any reason to upgrade if I have 0.7.3 on Ubuntu, or is this just for OSX support?

If you have issues with documents/epubs that worked fine pre-0.7.3 giving you warnings about being malformed, then you might want to upgrade. If you work on a lot of calibre-generated epubs, you may want to upgrade. But if you notice no issues with v0.7.3 in your normal workflow, then there's no real pressing reason to upgrade. Other than any changes/bugfixes brought by Qt5.1.1 (or 5.2-beta), the changes to Sigil itself are quite trivial. Mainly, when opening a file, any unicode non-breaking space characters are converted to the numeric entity (#160) instead of the named entity (nbsp). That way it won't break documents that didn't have (or need) a doctype. All of the handful of changes have to do with that.
If you don't really use unicode characters or entities (or all of your (x)html files already have the right doctype declaration), there's probably no real advantage to be gained. Nor any harm, for that matter.
