Hmm. 

    "if only new bindings, types or classes were added to the interface,
    then A.B may remain the same but the new C must be greater than the
    old C."
  
However, this is a big change, so bumping A.B has been done. And
1.3.0 > 1.2.3, so that's fine, according to

    http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Package_versioning_policy

Thanks for raising this.
