I think we need to narrow it down in what two information is looking at:
1) The script is checking the application.ini file in the omni.ja found in /system/b2g/ on the device.
2) settings looks at this variable:
        <li>
          <span data-l10n-id="build-id"></span>
          <small data-name="deviceinfo.platform_build_id"></small>
        </li>
Which is initiallized in the common-settings and is set through gecko : 
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/b2g/chrome/content/settings.js#184
via : appInfo.platformBuildID

I'm not sure if they are the same location.  Tamara, could you help out in figuring this small puzzle out please?

Hi Naoki,

Sorry, I'm probably not the best person to dig into this.  Maybe someone working on the build system or settings might be better?  

Thanks,
