In they past they've recommended uploading it as a new file/work.

One way would be to submit the improved OCR text to the Distributed Proofreaders Project, where it would then be submitted to Project Gutenberg, and then eventually find its way back to Internet Archive as a Project Gutenberg text.

Are you saying that IA's OCR takes input from proofread texts from Project Gutenberg? Is there any documentation of how that loop works, and who's in charge of that?

Distributed Proofreaders downloads OCR texts from IA (among other places), manually cleans them up ("proofreading"), submits them to Project Gutenberg, which are then posted on the PG website. Then someone (I don't know who) uploads PG texts to Internet Archive (among other places).
