Yep. I think you need to use an epoch in this (classic) case. The learning from this is that if using date-based versioning due to lack an upstream versioning scheme (increasingly common in my experience), it's smart to use 0~$date so you can look smug and switch to (newer) versions if/when they adopt them without needed an epoch.
