I strongly disagree.

I have raised bug reports against both RWDE and DBD::Pg.
DBD::Pg is not to blame, they have consistent numbering: 1.xx then 2.x.y
The problem is with RWDE.

plenty of them. i encounter this problem regularly since i package perl
modules for mandriva. (around 700 at the time of writing)
i'm generally opening a bug on rt (see the bugs i opened), which is
fixed
I have raised bug reports against both RWDE and DBD::Pg.
Are there other CPAN modules with the same bug? Is there a way that we
can test for the problem?

No it isn't. If you remember that 2.6.0 == 2.006 and 2.17.1

Historically, authors have complained about getting FAIL
I can't help it if module authors do stupid things with their version
numbers.
That doesn't address the issue that I raised of informing developers that
they've made a mistake.

Let's review version number math:
2.6 = 2.60
2.17.1 = 2.017001
2.60 > 2.017001
I can't help it if module authors do stupid things with their version numbers.

I understand that when a prerequisite for a module isn't installed, or
is a version that is too early that
CPAN::Reporter shouldn't report it. That is reasonable, it stops false
positives.
But look at this which happens when you try to test/install RWDE
('install RWDE'):
