Ok, so your master is our master.

Ok, so we are on the same page now.

That's in configure:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
printf %s "checking for release with git... " >&6; }
if git describe --tags > /dev/null 2> /dev/null
then
if test "X`git describe --tags | sed 's/release_.._..//'`" = X
then
AUCTEXVERSION=`git describe --tags`
else
AUCTEXVERSION=${AUCTEXDATE}
{ printf "%s\n" "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: not found, using
${AUCTEXVERSION} instead" >&5
printf "%s\n" "not found, using ${AUCTEXVERSION} instead" >&6; }
fi
else
{ printf "%s\n" "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: result: git not found, checking
for release in ChangeLog:" >&5
printf "%s\n" "git not found, checking for release in ChangeLog:" >&6; }
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
So if "git describe --tags" returns release_13_3 that would be the
version but since we are already several commits after the tag, it shows
something like release_13_3-191-g10c8f782 which means the latest tag is
release_13_3, we are 191 commits ahead of it, and g10c8f782 is the
abbreviated sha1 of object.
So the gist is: you get a "real" version only if the current version is
exactly the tagged version.
What you have had, i.e. version-date_time can only come from the main
branch. It stuck as long in your tex-site.el until you ran ./configure
on master.
