So, I guess your problem is the VERSION file on the dmd stable

No, it's the VERSION file present if one checks out the
v2.074.1 tag.
Tags are only made from the stable branch.
I suspect this doesn't show up in the official packages because
IIRC the VERSION file is edited as part of the standard
official-package build process.
Yes.
The point is here that this keeps happening. Assuming a
VERSION file is considered necessary at all (I believe the
intent is to support people using a tarball of the source
rather than a git checkout), it shouldn't be possible for a
release to be made without it containing the correct version
number.
Well, as mentioned minor point releases have never been changed
in the git repo before:
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/commits/stable/VERSION
So I'm not sure how necessary it is.
Anyhow, the interesting bits are here:

in particular:
