I think the DISTRIB_RELEASE value is intended behaviour. As far as I know, the idea was to not break the "Release" field for programs/scripts which parse it.

It's consistent with what dapper has:

$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 6.06.2 LTS
Release: 6.06
Codename: dapper

The issue and issue.net should be fixed, though, indeed.
