Are you sure that this later version isn't a rename by the software
which reads the email? (POP3 server, whatever) Exim documents the
filename construction in The Exim Specification, "26.5 Maildir delivery"
(and 26.6 for maildir_tag). The "V..._0" part there is anomalous.
Rephrasing, it should be:
<time.seconds>.M<time.microseconds>P<pid>.<primary_hostname><tag>
where <tag> typically starts with a comma ','.

That suggests that primary_hostname is unset, which is weird, since it
should be derived from uname if not explicitly set. Do you have
anything in your config explicitly setting 'primary_hostname = ""' ?
What does:
shell$ exim -bP primary_hostname
show?
