It's documented behaviour, it's not buggy.

The package should have been built with 9.4.1P1 and then it would be
fine. Pacman does weird things to underscores and lowercase alphanumeric
version numbers, they're considered to be lower than normal version
numbers. Using capitals, like in the samba package, works around this
problem.
