Yes and yes, at least for anything that I know of that requires  
updating... but I suspect that the change was made because things can  
change silently (silently at present, that is) within the xmpp prpl in  
libpurple.  I can say with near certainty that for all other account  
types, an update is only needed when the account signs on or signs off.
