How do you compile Org? As far as I'm aware, org-version.el is
autogenerated; so it would depend on how you compile Org.
That said, in my case I see consistent varlues, so I would be inclined
to think you have shadowing of Org libraries going on. Again how you
are installing Org matters. To verify the shadowing possibility
checkout this FAQ: <http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#mixed-install>
Hope this helps,
