The last two nightlies (20020923 and 20020921) I have downloaded (into
completely clean directories after erasing all bits if previous versions) have
said they were Version 1.0.0 dated 20020530 when I click on the Help/About
dropdown.  Isd this true or is the page in error.  Nothing burning here, just
curious.

Do you see this also with a new profile ?
Do you used the installer ? (Do you have Mozilla1.0 XPIs in the same directory)

Based on Matti's comments, I created a new default profile and (!) that one
displays the correct program version.  For the record, my original default
profile was only about a week or two old, and I long ago deleted any 1.0.0
versions (completely erased them and all files, not just installed over them). 
More important, this two-week-old default profile was correctly showing the
version number of the early 1.2b builds; it was only in the last few days that
the version display went wrong.

For the record, I did use the installer and Moz was installed into a new
directory with the existing (two week old) default profile in a different
directory. That was the problem configuration.

I have now created a new default profile and reinstalled last night's 1.2b build
- and all is well; I will watch to see if a future 1.2b build installed over the
current one or using the new default profile starts to act up again.

open the file "prefs.js" in your old profile and search the line
user_pref("general.useragent.override and delete it (if mozilla is closed)
