Comment:

 Ok.  So the nub of the issue is if the information returned by the Core
 Update API says that the latest version is a.b and you are running a pre-
 release version of a.b e.g. a.b-beta1 or a.b.-rc1 then you will see two
 messages.

 The normal intention is to show compatibility with the current version
 versus compatibility with the version you are upgrading to.

 For example if I hack my WordPress to think it is 2.8 even though it is
 2.9 I see:
 {{{
 You are running version 2.5. Upgrade to 2.5.3.
 Compatibility with WordPress 2.8: 100% (according to its author)
 Compatibility with WordPress 2.9: 0% (0 "works" votes out of 6 total)
 }}}

 I will attach a patch which fixes this for me.
