No it doesn't, OI branch versions get bumped with each release meaning 
you normally get updated metadata for every package installed when you 
update - slightly annoying and may change with the new system and a more 
rolling upgrade approach.  Anyway searching for all versions of webmin 
at pkg.openindiana.org/dev gives:

system/management/webmin at 1.510,5.11-0.147:20100914T030204Z
system/management/webmin at 1.510,5.11-0.148:20101125T011516Z
system/management/webmin at 1.510,5.11-0.151.1.1:20120114T201949Z
system/management/webmin at 1.510,5.11-0.151.1.2:20120209T203632Z
system/management/webmin at 1.510,5.11-0.151.1:20110912T025048Z

so you can see nothing has changed in regards to the webmin version.

Sounds about right.  Plenty of packages are behind upstream.

Are there bugs filed for these two issues?  bugs.openindiana.org doesn't 
seem to think so so could you do that please?
