The short answer is that currently (iOS5) your directory structure remains untouched during an update.

Going forward... who knows? In general, user data is protected between updates. So Apple won't delete settings or keychain data or anything in your Documents directory. I would say that almost anything else is fair game to be removed when your app is not running. They specifically mention the Caches directory (on low disk space rather than updating an app), but a temp directory might also be a reasonable candidate.
