No. HTML 5 is not harmful to mobile SEO. As mentioned in the comments above, HTML 5 is not a mobile specific markup language so it is not specifically mentioned in that Google help page. HTML 5, like HTML 4, is perfectly fine to use for a mobile website.

If anything, using HTML5 is encouraged as it offers new semantic markup that makes it easier for search engines to decipher the content on the page. As search engines add support for HTML 5 this can only help your mobile SEO efforts.
