You do not need to rebuila the format files.

Why --extra-mem-bot?

Sure:

1. Drink a cup of coffee.
2. Read the --extra-mem-top documentation.
3. Use --extra-mem-top (not --extra-mem-bot).

If you want to increase extra-mem-top for all future LaTeX runs, then 
you have to create a private latex.ini configuration file:

initexmf --edit-config-file=latex.ini

If it still doesn't work for you: write a bug report. But as I said 
before: it works for me.
