I don't mind the branching, this is just what branches are for. I was
trying to point out the inconsistency of using the 2.5-xx version
numbers in the trunk and the branch. The next experimental release
should IMHO have a tag like 2-6-something, but *not* 2-5-4.

Agreed, but see above for the numbering on the trunk.
