After experimenting a bit more, I found that the python27.dll is NOT part of the new installation, but is also NOT removed on upgrade or when uninstalling. After I manually deleted this dll, the new installation correctly reports itself as 2.7.17.

So the problem seems to be that the installer forgets to remove the old dll (and there is no new dll to overwrite it).
