I don't know the version number, I didn't check. As I see it, there are two fundamental problems here: 1. Apple only checks the root Applications directory, and none of the subdirectories, when updating an application. 2. The error message is terrible and doesn't communicate the actual problem. According to Julian, #1 is just the way things have been for a while. But #2 might be worthwhile to point out. I'll see if I can figure out where to submit a bug.

I recently got the MacBook Air and it has Leopard pre-installed and a version of Safari that works (3.0.4). So what version were you running previously to upgrading the OS? I would definitely send this link to Apple and try to get the issue resolved. That’s super weird.

But Apple isn't so good at looking in folders to find old versions of software. No Safari in the Applications directory? Great! We'll just install the new one and be on our way. Leaving the Safari in the dock to point to the old version. Hence that beautiful message.
