I think the reasoning behind changing the toc number or not was as follows:
If any mods need to be updated due to old functions no longer working, or certain functions not doing what they used to, and therefore possibly breaking mods prior to said patch, then the toc number changes, allowing proper versioning of AddOns.
If all mods should work just as they did prior to the patch, without any necessary updates or changes, then there is no need to change the toc file. This means there may be new scripting features that CAN be used, but the overall functionality of all addons should have remained unchanged, and therefore no update is necessary, hence no toc number update.
That is the reasoning I see from it... I didn't see an argument thread though, so can't see if that point was already brought up, so now I will go do some searching =P
