I shouldn't worry about the rumors.
If you had soaked the motor in kerosene for a few weeks and then put in oil and run it, then maybe you'd get chunks, but that would happen with any type of oil.
Detergent oil doesn't really scrub like dish detergent. It is formulated to keep the crud that it does accumulate suspended so that it drains away with the oil rather than settling out and making sludge. It's a detergent, not a solvent.
It will pick up any soft soluble stuff at the surface and carry it to the filter. If only for that reason, you should probably do as Gene suggested and clean up the topside and pan first to get rid of as much as tht stuff as is practical, and then do your first and maybe even second oil and filter changes sooner than you might otherwise and see what it looks like. After that, just the normal change interval should do fine.
