Is there any logical explanation for this, e.g. 'postgis_full_version' only ever returning the version number of the PROJ it was originally compiled against, so never displaying the upgrade?

Sure, it’s fairly common, all you need is a library where the version information is communicated via compile-time #defines rather than a run-time getversion() function. Or a library that does both (like proj) and the implementing application uses the #defines. Early proj4 only had #defines, so it wouldn’t be surprising to find apps that still use them, even though modern proj has a runtime proj_version() available.
