That might be a British vs American English issue.
The prevalent opinion seems to be "as of" means "at the moment of":
http://painintheenglish.com/case/4162
But some distinguish between "as of" and "as at":
http://painintheenglish.com/case/4162/#comment-22366
(whereas I don't remember seeing "as at" at all before).
Also: http://blog.harwardcommunications.com/2012/04/02/as-of/
That opinion states that the ambiguity should be resolved by the
context. If it doesn't, I'd say the most general meaning should be
considered (the state of affairs at that moment was...)

That can be useful to the person working on that bug report.
Personally, seeing the exact hash instead of "current trunk" makes me
more confident that the reporter indeed is using the current trunk build.
