I have iTunes 11.0.4.4 and have just installed Windows 8.1 – iTunes seems to work ok, but when I plug the iPhone in (iOS 6.1.4) it doesn't appear and be recognised.
The OS sees the phone and I can copy files from it, but iTunes doesn't react to it.
Are there any known issues with Windows 8.1 – am I paying the price for being on the bleeding edge?

This technique just worked for me on 11.1.3.8 (it broke on the Windows 8 to 8.1 upgrade):
At this point, my iPod and iPad were recognized and synced. My library appears to be intact as well.
I subsequently rebooted and these devices are still found.
