Bryan have brought this up on IRC as well. As far as I know, for the last decade we never bump the version number when making updates, unless it's a "wholesale" upgrade of certain components in very special circumstances. I have done a quick check on Linux systems and found they don't carry a patchlevel for "openssl" either however they do provide a way to tell the patchlevel because it's a package. However, they do bump the date as part of the update. What would be the preferable way of representing the patchlevel? We can do it as part of a EN batch at later time. (Note though, even without this the user or an application can still use freebsd-version(1) on FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE and up to find out the patchlevel for userland).
