Sorry for the confusion.
I don't want to jump to conclusions but assuming you're right then I
must have built from master and forgotten about it.
Is it possible you're only half right and that one of those two
commits is on emacs-25 and the other is not?
I ask because I get the following values inside the two builds:
(emacs-version) "GNU Emacs 25.0.94.1 (x86_64-w64-mingw32)
of 2016-05-31"
emacs-repository-version "788c9b69e1801dd883dbe603281571ef3c78a724"
resp.
(emacs-version) "GNU Emacs 25.1.50.1 (x86_64-w64-mingw32)
of 2016-06-13"
emacs-repository-version "ab182c624868fcc0ed97597db669911099d4bd28"
Can you please tell me how to verify whether a commit is on a branch
for myself (so I'm less likely to make mistakes like this in the
future)?
What I did is this:
(in Git CMD in repository root): git checkout emacs-25 && git pull
(in Emacs in repository root): C-x v L ;; vc-print-root-log
then searched for and found both commits' checksums.
The root log starts (HEAD -> emacs-25, origin/master, origin/HEAD,
master). Maybe it's actually a combined log. I'm more familiar with
Subversion and perhaps I made unwarranted assumptions about Git's log.

I can try, but the main thing I have learned is that I am indeed confused.

I'm not sure but it seems likely the earlier build is emacs-25 and the
later is master, which one might find explains that.
