No. It needs to be fixed.

The wrong version of wubi.exe (10.04.1) is on
http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ and the same version is now on
http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer and this one is
the one most people download.

The main one ( http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer ) was
set at Maverick Meerkat 10.10 up until late last week. This was changed
without notice (and nowhere on the page does it state the release that will
be downloaded.)
Since that time, everyone running it will find it downloads the 10.04.2
Desktop ISO (700MB download) and then rejects it with: 10.04.2 != 10.04.1

We've been seeing a number of these on ubuntuforums.org already. It is quite
urgent (and a simple fix) to:
1) replace it with a working version for either 10.04.2 or 10.10
2) state on the page which release it is so users know what they are
installing
