for KDE this perfectly sane I think. KDE 4.3.80 is beta1 of KDE 4.4 that is being prepared in Factory. don't add Factory if you don't know what to expect from it (which means especially breakage at the beginning of the release cycle). There are other cases where I was not (yet) able to find an ample explanation: the ffmpeg packages in packman are called 0.5.<svn-rev>. Which is clearly wrong. The current release is 0.5.0, which will lead most likely to 0.5.1 or any other 0.5.x version. There a problem will arise (without introducing an epoch0. for your case above, nothing weird or strange.... all perfectly under control.
