Catalog bumps have happened in the past between beta versions:
git log -p REL_12_BETA1..REL_12_BETA2 src/include/catalog/catversion.h
git log -p REL_11_BETA1..REL_11_BETA2 src/include/catalog/catversion.h
git log -p REL_10_BETA1..REL_10_BETA2 src/include/catalog/catversion.h

So we usually avoid to do that between betas, but my take here is that
a catalog bump is better than regretting a change we may have to live
with after the release is sealed.
