MELPA always contains the latest master, so it's much newer than 0.8.1.

I wasn't aware about this repo, but the development happens on github.

If you want to use a git checkout, use 'master' branch.

Absolutely not!  You can try it.  Actually the mentioned bug was one of
the main reason that Christopher added 'geiser-next' package.  I didn't
try it but it should work.  This is a simple checkout of a Geiser
commit, so it is as stable as MELPA.  'geiser-next' is more "fresh" than
0.8.1 but less fresh than MELPA (16 commits were made to Geiser since
'geiser-next' was added).
