While this works, it does "contaminate" the version number. Another approach is to encode the "pre" in the revision: 0.1.0-0.pre1.1 or some such. Increment the last ".1" for a new revision. This way you can keep the version "pure" while still showing the "pre" status and being able to upgrade to the final version. But that's just a matter of taste.
