I looked at this a few times and keep seeing the same thing so I don't think I am hallucinating. I've attached a screenshot as well.

Official 7.x-1.1 version date = *2012*-Apr-25

7.x-1.x-dev version date = *2011*-Jun-21

The same sort of thing is going on with the 6.x versions.

Perhaps I'm confused but I don't ever recall seeing the dev version has a date that is before the official release version date for the same branch.

I just noticed this for the Strongarm project too... so... not sure what is up. Packaging issue? Not sure what project this should be assigned to.

If there are no changes on the branch, the dev versions will not get rebuilt. In practice, there were some unreleased changes on the branch which deserved to be released, and were hold for too long in dev only. So while there were no recent changes in dev, a new release was made available with some old changes. See http://drupal.org/node/140087/commits for the real commits which should help you get the background.
