well :-) it seems that alpha/4.1.1-R is a 5-CURRENT snapshot (on
ftp.freebsd.org) - at least partly!

We checked the ssys.?? distribution and sbase.?? - both are current
sources! /usr/sbin/config and the kernel are definitively current!

and we just found this in
ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/alpha/4.1.1-RELEASE/README.TXT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   -----------------------------------------
       FreeBSD 5.0  ---  SNAPSHOT Version              ,        ,
   -----------------------------------------          /(        )`
                                                      \ \___   / |
This is a binary snapshot of 5.0-current, the         /- _  `-/  '
(HEAD) branch which is currently moving towards      (/\/ \ \   /\
the release of 5.0.                                  / /   | `    \
....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, the system, once installed, calls itself 4.1.1-RELEASE :-)

How about writing an erratum to the release?
