And thanks for this bug report. A proper, but really cumbersome, solution for this one would be introducing a table of version comparison overrides, keeping track of corner cases like this one. That would be quite gross though, and it's not even clear to me that we have a way to extract the information to feed it from the archive, short of adding entries one by one as soon as some user hit them. An easy workaround would be to sort first by release, and then by version, which would solve most occurrences of this problem, I think.
