Usually, LED (and CFL) incompatibility comes from using a voltage-based dimmer circuit and an LED bulb whose power supply isn't capable of handling variable input voltage. You really need to use a PWM-based dimmer with LEDs and CFLs. In theory, there are some CFLs that are supposed to be able to work with older dimmers, but....
Of course, true misery is using certain cheap CFLs and LEDs with low-frequency PWM dimmers and getting an audible whine.
