Agreed.  If you want SRCPV anywhere (and it's not entirely obvious that
all distros would want it at all), it seems like it should go in either
PV, PKGV, the DESCRIPTION, or some custom output field.  Jamming it into
${PR} from the recipe does seem, as you say, "just wrong".

See also gitpkgv.bbclass which has some further words about this stuff.
