Do we need to reinitdb to pick this up, or just run this file?

Curiousity.

It's actually described in the release notes:

   <para>
    If you want to install the fixes in the information schema
    concerning the bit types, you need to reload the information
    schema.  This is either accomplished by initializing a new cluster
    by running <command>initdb</command>, or by running the following
    sequence of SQL commands in each database (ideally including
    <literal>template1</literal>) as a superuser in
    <application>psql</application>, after installing the new release:
<programlisting>
DROP SCHEMA information_schema CASCADE;
\i /usr/local/pgsql/share/information_schema.sql
</programlisting>
    Substitute your installation path in the second command.
   </para>
