No, that's something that's been confusing me in other projects too. 

FWIW, KDevelop 5.1 will be released soon, up from 5.0.3 . Their current version (in CMakeLists.txt and the git tag) is 5.0.80. Who knows, maybe that'll become 5.0.99 for the gold release candidate whatever version.

So what would be wrong with 3.0.0.89? Conveys clearly enough the message that it's not just a patch release, and that it's closer to 3.0.1 than to 3.0.0 .
