I'm afraid that the release has another fault: the VERSION file
still gives 2.074.0. This means that unless it is edited
during the build process, the compiler will report the wrong
version number when `dmd --version` is invoked.
curl https://i.dlang.io | bash -s
~/dlang/dmd-2.074.1/linux/bin64/dmd --version
DMD64 D Compiler v2.074.1

Or even shorter:
source $(curl https://i.dlang.io | bash -s dmd --activate) &&
dmd --version
However, also the bundled VERSION file is correct for me:
cat ~/dlang/dmd-2.074.1/src/VERSION
2.074.1
So, I guess your problem is the VERSION file on the dmd stable
branch?
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/blob/stable/VERSION
According point releases have never been flagged there:
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/commits/stable/VERSION
Probably because it's more yet another work step & makes merging
the master branch back into stable a bit more complicated.
Can't you simply overwrite the VERSION file in your build process?
Otherwise it's just one simple PR away ;-)
