I recently raised this problem with build-infra. Presently the MILESTONE 
and JDK_BUILD_NUMBER (note name change) are used for these but they get 
overridden by the values in the version.numbers file. So you can either 
put the right numbers in that file, or delete those variables from the 
file and set them via the environment.
