Comment (by g30rg3x):

 Replying to [comment:3 santosj]:
 Yes, i know that the $wp_version exists on a top level (created by the
 inclusion of the file version.php inside wp-settings.php) but my guesses
 is (as you say) it was intended to be used for a porpoise.

 Yes indeed one of my theory's is that it was added because they want to
 used inside a User-Agent string (like other functions do) when the XMLRPC
 response either a success or a failure Pingback, but eventually it was
 forgotten and left behind.
