Without having looked at the patch (yet), I think that bumping the version in case that the new modes are being used is the right thing to do. Sure you can do something with the file in an old version, but the behavior is undefined and unexpected and it would IMO be better to require that the user uses a version that is new enough to handle the new modes.
