We've had a few issues in the past where a file wasn't updated during the release process, requiring us to re-publish one small change. It's not optimal, but given the nature of our release process being long and complex it's a lot easier to fix the asset in three minutes rather than spend an entire day re-building and re-publishing an entire release, updating our docs, etc. just because of one line in one file that wasn't updated correctly.

I guess I'm just lucky, then, to have only dealt with release processes where it's no big deal to do a bump from 5.0.0 to 5.0.1 so I can address something like that. Some of them were long and complex, but they were scripted to the point where it was uniformly better to jump by a 0.0.1 than risk having two different releases with the exact same version # in the wild.

Yeah, depending on the size of the project you could end up having thousands of users downloading and installing 5.0.0 and then complaining.
