My 60-year-old Webster's dictionary has "bitten" for the past participle but "bit" as Colloquial.

Looking forward to headlines when Bite-me bites the dust...I don't care if it reads that he "has bit the dust" or "has bitten the dust."

The dust that Poncho bit down south has ended up in Lefty’s mouth.

That’s just the straight past tense.
