Josh had this to say on the mailing list: 

This code mimics the 'normal' formatting in perl's version module, which
actually raises an error in this case:

% perl -Mversion -le '$v=version->new("1.03ii")->normal; print $v'
Invalid version format (non-numeric data) at -e line 1.

This suggests that 1.03ii is not a valid version for a perl module.

Found ​this perldoc.perl.org documentation confirming this is an invalid perl module version.
