Not really, if you evaluate `emacs-repository-version' on
Silex-image-packaged Emacs, result is nil. As far as I know, they are just
built from Emacs VCS snapshot tarballs, but exact commit hash is lost in
the build process.  This was even discussed before:
https://github.com/Silex/docker-emacs/issues/86#issuecomment-1234266607 I
don't know the details, but apparently GNU provides the snapshots ("archive
tarballs are downloaded and unpacked"), so you could just inject revision
number in the proper place and then get better bug reports. I'd provide
commit number if I knew it somehow.

Then it is apparently fixed already.
