No, on the :intro screen leading zeros are suppressed. The patchlevel
will get additional digits as it reaches higher powers of ten (i.e.,
two digits 10-99, three digits 100-999, etc.). I see the same on my
desktop where openSUSE Linux Leap 15.1 is installed and where I get
the Vim source's from Christian Brabandt's Mercurial mirror.
Similarly, in the :version output I see

VIM - Vi IMproved 8.2 (2019 Dec 12, compiled Dec 14 2019 14:44:49)
Included patches: 1-3
Compiled by antoine.mechelynck@gmail.com
Big version with GTK2 GUI. Features included (+) or not (-):

etc.

My last 8.1 build before 8.2 came out said "version 8.1.2424" in its
:intro screen, and AFAIK the routine which dsplays that screen hasn't
changed, it just uses different constants.


Best regards,
Tony.
