Actually it needs both Branch and Version to be correct for the correct 
theme to be downloaded. You should have something like this:

MythTV Version : v0.28.1
MythTV Branch : fixes/0.28
Network Protocol : 88
Library API : 0.28.20161120-1
QT Version : 5.5.1

If the version a later commit later than the tag you could see
MythTV Version : v0.28.1-95-g93c8cf8
MythTV Branch : fixes/0.28
...

Either of these is valid but with yours showing the version as 3543e74 
the theme download will always use the trunk version of themes.

You may want to take this up with the packager.
