It's already fixed in master, but no one has touched the stable 
branch yet.  I have a PR to that end, though:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/pull/5382

Note it's not just about what version DMD reports it is, but also 
about what name is given to the phobos shared library files 
(which use VERSION to generate a unique filename).

(On that note: the shared library filenames seem to consistently 
be of the form `libphobos2.so.0.xx.0` where xx derives from the 
compiler minor version number.  Just wondering where the 
preceding and trailing 0's come from; shouldn't the filename 
reflect better both the major and point version numbers?)
