Thanks for your patience Michael!

I made some cosmetic changes to the error handling logic that you may want to include in the PyPA patches. (I'd intended to make it so that a malformed build date resulted in the "Unknown" "9898" build date being used, rather than triggering a ValueError on import of the AIX support module, but my except clause was too narrow. A PR to widen it to trap ValueError as well would definitely be acceptable).

For detection of tag variants, counting hyphens has the benefit of being able to distinguish more variants than just two, but checking the final field would indeed work for distinguishing the current two formats.
