Thanks for your patience Michael!

I made some cosmetic changes to the error handling logic that you may want to 
include in the PyPA patches. (I'd intended to make it so that a malformed build 
date resulted in the "Unknown" "9898" build date being used, rather than 
triggering a ValueError on import of the AIX support module, but my except 
clause was too narrow. A PR to widen it to trap ValueError as well would 
definitely be acceptable).

For detection of tag variants, counting hyphens has the benefit of being able 
to distinguish more variants than just two, but checking the final field would 
indeed work for distinguishing the current two formats.
