Some hints:

This details my testing of Scribus PDF's with professional pre-press
software and other DTP applications.

I have tested Scribus PDF's extensively in Illustrator 10. Unless recent
changes has affected something, I have always been able to work open and
*lightly* edit Scribus PDFs - mostly for testing compatibility. Example:
I have opened a Scribus created PDF of the Scribus logo in Illustrator
and saved it as an AI (Illy native) file. Printing and on-screen
appearance are exactly the same.

That said, for pre-press, I would not want a printer messing around with
Scribus PDF's *except* with Pit Stop Professional IMNSHO. In my
professional opinion, any printer or service handling PDF is very remiss
in not having Pit Stop and/or Callas' PDF Inspektor. There are no other
comparably powerful (and efficient) ways of pre-flighting PDF. I could
not imagine working with PDF in pre-press without these tools.
