I'd like to jump in on this.
The original MIDI spec made no requirements about when Bank MSB or LSB should be applied... because it doesn't matter! The only thing that's relevant is that these should stable and be between 0 and 127 when a program change comes along. It's up to the destination to decide what to do if the values are invalid - all the synths I've used simply ignore values that point to a non-existent bank and leave things as previously set. All the hardware synths I've used don't need you to send bank information at all. If you don't, they simply assume you want to use the same as the last time it was powered up. It also doesn't matter if you repeatedly send the same value (apart from wasting MIDI bandwidth). Not naming names but there was one sequencer I knew of that insisted on sending a bank pair for every bank change, and if you didn't set both it assumed zero for the one you didn't set.
