What is the reason for pushing this to F12 and F13? Does the update fix any bugs except this one? Are you aware of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Stable_release_updates_vision ?
4.017 fixes a bug presented in 4.016. While having 4.016 in F12 and F13, it's better to ship new version than applying the diff and hiding true package version. IOW it's easier to follow upstream. Why have we upgrade to 4.016? Because there where serious bugs making this package useless (segfaults). See bug #597759.
If this package fixes a segfault, it is certainly not a bugfix update and you should list the bug fixed in the update in bodhi, otherwise it is hard to understand for users.
s/not a bugfix/not an enhancement but a bugfix/
