Why isn't that simply named "pam_mysql-0.7-0.7.rc1.fc11", or even "...-N.rc1.fc11", N being a single integer?

Yes, that explains -0.N, but not the .2 at the end.
Generally that is used if you need to fix something in a lower branch that otherwise has the same version as a higher branch without bumping the higher branch(es). For example:
foo-5-1.fc11 foo-5-1.fc10
And we need to fix something F-10 specific:
foo-5-1.fc11 foo-5-1.fc10.1
still follows F-11 > F-10 (upgrade path). However, I'm not sure why this is being added to a rawhide (or F-11) package.
