It would probably be best for this reason to wait until the package
actually does change to do an EAPI bump.
One thing that would concern me is testing - I don't like the idea of
stable packages changing in any way, since that bypasses the testing
cycle (both the formal cycle by the arch team, and the informal one by
being keyworded for testing for 30 days).
Also, the on-disk image really does have to not change. An EAPI bump
might cause subtle changes that the maintainer might not be aware of.
All that said, I think you have a decent point.
