Thanks for giving us into our attention. It's a comprehensible misunderstanding, specially since 'Current' is the selected option.
I propose changing 'Current version (trunk)' to 'Unstable latest version (trunk)'. The unstable bit should catch the attention for people which has just downloaded 'the last mediawiki version' to notice the difference.
Changing the combobox to a listbox would help, too.
Simulpost: I just changed it to "development version" and suggested it be made non-default. :) "Development" and "unstable" are both okay, I think. It should still be made non-default.
We have also had bug reports from people who chose the old version but really wanted the current version. Extension documentation pages are typically vague about how their functionality changes with time. Also note that the branch version isn't any more stable than the trunk one. For most extensions, it's just a random snapshot of the trunk.
