Yes. Actually, I'd make this the central point to judge if a PKGREVISION 
bump is appropriate: If you can/have to tell a user "use THAT (new) 
revision" in order to make it differentiate from an old, possibly
buggy/insufficient version, then the bump is justified. For whatever 
changes led to the change in behaviour that may be of interest to the 
user.

Personally I think trying to list all those possible changes would be too 
much, and should be left to developers' judgement. :)
