Yes, it looks like it would work better. Is there some description of
what the presence of a letter actually means?

The manpage for vercmp describes it with some examples:
Version comparison operates as follows:
Alphanumeric:
1.0a < 1.0b < 1.0beta < 1.0p < 1.0pre < 1.0rc < 1.0 <
1.0.a < 1.0.1
Numeric:
1 < 1.0 < 1.1 < 1.1.1 < 1.2 < 2.0 < 3.0.0
Additionally, version strings can have an epoch value defined
that will
overrule any version comparison, unless the epoch values are equal.
This is specified in an epoch:version-rel format. For example,
2:1.0-1
is always greater than 1:3.6-1.
Keep in mind that the pkgrel is only compared if it is available on
both versions given to this tool. For example, comparing 1.5-1
and 1.5
will yield 0; comparing 1.5-1 and 1.5-2 will yield < 0 as expected.
This is mainly for supporting versioned dependencies that do not
include the pkgrel.
