Since merging these two entries has no user visible consequences, that
shouldn't need a version bump. Merged or not, both would patch exactly
the same problem in OBP{2,3}.

OpenBoot uses "PROM vector" interface and OBP version specifies
versioning of that interface.  OTOH, OpenFirmware uses different,
extensible, client interface (one entry point plus named methods).

Sun's OBP 3.x is actually an OpenFirmware, *not* OpenBoot v3 (note
that your v3 OBP is 2.x, not 3.x!).  Yes - this is confusing.
