Those are bugs.  The version indicated by the .setup file doesn't match
the one indicated by the tag directory.

We had this problem with the packaging system I wrote for work; there we have a scanning program that I run periodically to e.g. verify that things like this match up (the Subversion location to the "recipe" version as we say). It can even attempt to use Subversion to find out who is responsible so they can be notified. I can reinvent that for the Egg repository if people think that would be useful. :-)

I went ahead and threw together a little program just to see if I could do it quickly; it turned out to be a fun exercise. It's on my Mercurial at http://bitbucket.org/taylor_venable/metasyntax/src/tip/Programs/egg-scan.scm

The results (filtered out to show mismatches that the program can detect - anything resulting from defining and then using a variable for the version would currently go unnoticed) are attached.
