It's a judgement call. If there is an ABI being provided which has changed incompatibly then you definitely should bump PRs of those recipes that depend on it. Thinking about it, it probably wouldn't be too hard to detect when the ABI has been broken if we wanted to put some safeguards in place. I don't think we've been vigilant about this in the past but because people try not to change ABIs we get away with it most of the time. Not sure if it warrants any change in procedure but extra care at least can't hurt.
