[wp-testers] Auto-update to 2.8.1-RC1 not working properly

[Kim Parsell]

Thanks Matt, that explains why all of us are still getting the beta2 
version instead of RC1.

/trunk/wp-includes/version.php still shows -beta2 in version.php, but 
/branch/2.8/wp-includes/version.php shows -RC1.

Perhaps someone forgot to bump the version in trunk when they did it for 
the branch version?

I figured I'd download the latest 2.8 nightly zip file
(http://wordpress.org/nightly-builds/wordpress-2.8-latest.zip) to take
a look.  Seems as though the 2.8 nightly hasn't updated to rc1 yet as
version.php is still reporting 2.8.1-beta2 from that zip.
