This smells like a bug to me.  If the software is compiled from
source, I expect it to tell me what system/software it was
*actually* compiled with, and in the case of python *actually*
running on, not some string hardcoded into a text file.  If
the string is not dynamically generated, I'd rather it not
lie; ie: it should just give the Zope version.
