Hmmm ... the files those commits touch are indeed tagged REL8_3_6 at the
later commit in the CVS repository, and I pulled out the 8.3.6 tarball
and confirmed that that has the newer versions too.

[ pokes around in mail archives ... ]

What seems to have happened is that the analyze_requires_snapshot() bug
was reported on pgsql-packagers and we concluded that it was serious
enough to justify a re-wrap; but the tarballs hadn't gone anywhere
public so we just did the deed without bumping the version number.
