I think you probably require a MagicByte bump if you expect correct behavior of the system as a whole.
>From a client perspective you want to make sure that when you deliver a message that the broker supports the feature you're expecting (compaction). So, depending on the behavior of the broker on encountering a previously undefined bit flag I would suggest making some change to make certain that flag-based compaction is supported. I'm going to guess that the MagicByte would do this. While we're at it, we might as well see if anything else needs to be changed. BTW, this could potentially be handled differently in other circumstances, like when you're expecting the flag to be interpreted end-to-end.
