I think that is ultimately up to you as the maintainer. If it's really important to get the new version uploaded, then yeah do that first, but otherwise just leave it at the current version, do the new library, then upload new version when that gets out of NEW. Or maybe decide that there is a time limit: you really should have the new version uploaded within say 4 weeks. If NEW takes longer than that, then upload the new-version-with-bundle at that point.
