Yes, could be.  The most common situation where PKGV != PV is when
something like gitpkgv.bbclass is in use, which doesn't happen all that
often.  The main effect of using the wrong vars would be to make the
-doc/-dbg/-dev packages of gitpkgv-using recipes uninstallable, and I
guess I could believe that this might be happening without anybody
having noticed.

Good question.  I suspect the answer is probably "none".
