They are builds of the same codebase with different compiler options.
> Do both 25.1-1 (whatever/wherever that is) and 25.1-2 correspond to
> 25.1.1?
They both correspond to 25.1. There's no 25.1.1 release; 25.1.1 is
build #1 of the 25.1 release.
> Where does a user see the version number 25.1-2 (or whatever kind of
> number it is, if it is not a version number)?
It's not a version number. It's a name of the zip file, and was give
"-2" to distinguish it from the original upload.
> How, from Emacs itself, does a user tell the difference between
> 25.1-1 and 25.1-2?
The value of system-configuration-options should be different.
> These were the zip files downloaded, respectively:
>
> emacs-25.1-x86_64-mingw32.zip
> emacs-25.1-2-x86_64-w64-mingw32.zip

> What does a user (or code) look for within Emacs, to tell the difference?
See above.
> And are these releases? Release candidates? Pretest builds?
These are releases. Pretests have a 4-field versions, like
25.1.91.2. Release candidates have "RC" in the name of the zip file.
> How to know?
See the node "Version Info" in the ELisp manual.
> Is all this supposed to be clear to users?
This information is not necessarily of importance for users. It is
important in bug reports, which is why report-emacs-bug includes it.
But inquisitive users can find the information in the Emacs manuals.
> At the mirrors where you download these things there is no

The explanations you are looking for are in the README file that is
right near the zip archives.

Did you read the README file?
