Yes, they're against the guidelines, but it can't be fixed without an
Epoch bump before the next upstream version following 1.4.0 which is
definitely not worth it.  And as long as there's something to the left
of the non-numeric version part that can override it in the release tag
(in this case, "3" trumps "beta2"), the issue is very much cosmetic -
all it means is that when the final non-beta version is out, its release
tag can't start from 1%{?dist}.
