The version tags of the 8.x-1.x are missing from info.yml from the GIT.
The are present in the dist, and also marked:

# Information added by Drupal.org packaging script on 2016-04-27
version: '8.x-1.0-alpha3'
core: '8.x'
project: 'entity'
datestamp: 1461748148

However, when using composer, you will have the git version, since it's not stable yet.
It's a big problem with other modules having dependency on Entity API, since their update hooks cannot run (it will say you don't have the right version).

Am glad to help with this, maybe it's the wrong place, and I should ask it on drupal git?

Thanks!

The missing version info is a bit of pain if you run d8 composer stack and want to upgrade media_entity from beta or dev to 8.x-1.0 stable release, it checks entity api >= 8.x-1.0-alpha3 in the update hook which always fails, so media entity does not get updated even if you have the correct version.

This is not Entity API specific.

The solution should be https://www.drupal.org/project/composer_deploy, haven't tried it yet.
