PA is *not* restarted when a new version is installed and I suspect this
does not happen on Fedora either (but I could be wrong).

The reason is that PA is a per-user daemon, not a system service. If
three users were logged in, then each of their PA servers would need to
be killed and restarted but due to console-kit, only the active user
would get access to the devices which could cause enumeration issues etc.

It could maybe be handled better, but doing so would be rather complex.
