Not sure if that is related to the path.

That was fixed and had nothing to do with the path.

QGIS itself doesn't have issues with it, does it?   I didn't notice anything
when I test installed it (but w/o any plugins).

Anyway using the version number instead of the release name in the path
shouldn't be a problem.   But that's "just" a packaging issue of the
standalone.

The release was branched and tagged and a new tarball was made.

The packages are available too.   I think there were some pending updates to
the website or visual changelog, but unfortunately got sidetracked by urgent
other stuff - otherwise I'd probably already had announced the release.
