I've often set the Fix Version before the issue was assigned or fixed, because that's the way you can take a look at the road map in JIRA.
People using JIRA to track the "state" of the next version to have an idea of the progress (how many planned issues remain unresolved, etc), would use the roadmap view, which uses the Fix Versions.
