Switching from one prerelease to another doesn't reset the prerelease identifier #2324

I've released a few versions under the beta tag and I'm moving to rc. The number following the prerelease tag continues to increment rather than resetting to 0.

I can create or provide a minimal reproduction if it's helpful.
