When you use both mr.developer and buildout-versions as extensions, the 
order in which you list them matters, as they both hack the versions. 
buildout-versions 1.6 has a fix for that (by me) but that version 
requires zc.buildout 1.5.0 or higher (though that has nothing to do with 
the fix).

The correct order for buildout-versions 1.5 and lower is:

[buildout]
extensions =
     mr.developer
     buildout-versions
