When the type of bounding box is changed, the object doesn't change at all. Therefore the dimensions will stay the same and needn't be updated. The only thing that changes is the size of bounding box, but this is not a part of the object. It's only defining where Inkscape draws it handles and where it snaps, so it's just a "tool" that Inkscape uses.

It's not the bounding box that defines the object, it's the object that defines the bounding box!
