By removing vars in version.numbers,  I've now expected behaviour :

OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0-lambda-b56-20120925)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 24.0-b21, mixed mode)
openjdk version "1.8.0-lambda-b56"

About version and configure, +1 to have them set from the outside,
version.numbers and env vars override.
configure should be use to configure build chain, not to set
informations like version, company.
