Yes.

It is actually expected that you wouldn't have anything after a 'dev'
statement, and the code used to abort in that case. (You shouldn't every
*really* release 'dev', that is what 'final' and 'candidate' are for.)
The last dot is meant as "1.16.1-rcX", which doesn't make much sense in
'dev'.

I believe bzr-gtk forced the issue, by *releasing* (0, 96, 1, 'dev', 1)
at some point in the past.
