Restart Required After Setting 'clr Enabled' = 1?

Is a restart of SQL Server required after changing the 'clr enabled' setting? The SQL documentation clearly states that a restart of SQL Server is not required:

The clr enabled option is an advanced option. If you use the sp_configure system stored procedure to change the setting, you can change clr enabled only if show advanced options is set to 1. The setting takes effect immediately after sp_configure is run. No restart of the SQL Server instance is required.

I've seen updated documentation where it points out that this setting is not really an advanced setting, so, there is one error that was corrected. Also, the documentation seems to imply that RECONFIGURE is not needed. Although, after you run EXEC sp_configure 'clr enabled', 1;, you get:

Configuration option 'clr enabled' changed from 1 to 1. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install.

My issue is that our installation kit runs the following comands:

EXEC sp_configure 'clr enabled', 1;

RECONFIGURE

I it tries to load a SQL stored procedure which references a CLR function that will be defined later in the process. The following error is returned.

Msg 5847, Level 16, State 88, Procedure f_altFillPriceFormatted, Line 20

Execution of .NET Framework code is disabled. Set "clr enabled" configuration option and restart the server.

The setting has already been set as I can see using SP_CONFIGURE. If I restart SQL Server as the error message states, the load of the stored procedure finishes successfully.

Is there some other setting that I can call to force SQL Server into believing that the clr is enabled? Or, is this simply a documentation error where a restart really is required?

thanks,
