Could you propose specific text to add to UPDATING, and I'll drop it in? 
Perhaps something along the lines of the following:

 	Some previous versions of PAM have permitted the use of
 	non-absolute paths in /etc/pam.conf or /etc/pam.d/* when referring
 	to third party PAM modules in /usr/local/lib.  A change has been
 	made to require the use of absolute paths in order to avoid
 	ambiguity and dependence on library path configuration, which may
 	affect existing configurations.
