I was once asked to read an updated version after expressing my opinion of a book. Not in a million years. Life is too short.
The fixes are for future readers, not past ones. As are any reviews that are left. So a review complaining about something that has already been fixed seems a bit pointless.

I only mention typos when it is a pro-published book. For self-pub (unless they make a big deal about hiring editors) I just send the writer a list of mistakes they made.

Personally, I think if something can be fixed it should be fixed.
